Why does this tomato paste have a high sugar content despite being made mainly from tomatoes?

The tomatoes are concentrated two‑fold, which removes water and concentrates the natural sugars that are already present in fresh tomatoes, resulting in a much higher sugar level in the final paste.

Is the product suitable for a vegan keto diet?

No, the product is vegan but its carbohydrate content (14.5 g of sugars per 100 g) exceeds typical keto limits, making it unsuitable for strict ketogenic eating plans.

What is the recommended way to store the tomato paste after opening?

Once opened, keep the tube refrigerated and consume it within four weeks to maintain flavor and prevent microbial growth.
