The drying process of the ripe tomato is carried out on the ground, in a slow process that leaves the interior moist, with the consequent reduction in volume and initial weight, but which, in turn, enhances its flavour. In this way, its conservation time is considerably lengthened.

The drying process of the ripe tomato is carried out in the sun, in a slow process that causes them to lose their internal humidity, with the consequent decrease in volume and initial weight, but which, in turn, enhances their flavour. In this way, its conservation time is extended considerably.
Due to the enhancement of the flavor, its use is very widespread in Mediterranean cuisine.
Among its benefits, the high content of lycopenes, vitamin C, potassium, calcium and antioxidants stands out.
