Why do we use tomato purée when adding tomato as a flavouring agent to a dish, rather than in powdered form, like we do for paprika, onion, garlic etc. ?

Tomato gets bitter when dried. It’s not the taste you’re looking for when you wanna add tomatoes to a dish
I used to buy tomato powder at the supermarket for making hiking meals. It tasted not much different to regular tomato paste when rehydrated.

My original explanation was removed because it was one sentence in length. However, it is the most succinct and accurate answer. I know this because I am a chef. Below this pointlessly long paragraph, I have attached the answer to your question.
>The purpose of tomato puree/paste is to thicken the sauce, not just deliver tomato flavor…and the flavor you get will be more intense.

Go to the Hispanic section and get Knorr tomato bouillon powder. I can’t remember what it’s called, but you can’t miss it, it will be with the chicken and beef bouillon powder.

I don’t know the answer to your question, but it has me wondering about something! I absolutely love tomatoes, I’ll eat them like apples lol. But as soon it’s made into any kind of red paste, I absolutely abhor it! My whole life I’ve always hated pizza, pasta, lasagna, etc bc of the red sauce. But I love tomatoes and salsa, I don’t understand it whatsoever! It’s honestly like I would rather starve than eat it 🙁
