Pacific Foods is now introducing the Organic Tomato and Organic Tomato & Red Pepper Stocks as ones that are made with minimal ingredients, but offer lots of flavor. While the Organic Tomato Stock variety shows off the unsalted taste of vine-ripened tomatoes, the Organic Tomato & Red Pepper Stock is lightly enhanced with sea salt, garlic and onion juice concentrate. These flavorful stocks have the potential to enhance everything from grains to [pasta and soup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lasagna-soups) with a rich tomato flavor. For ease of use, the tomato stocks are available in convenient one-cup carton sizes.
