Why Hunt's Tomatoes?
At Hunt's, we believe it's good to be different. We peel our tomatoes with FlashSteam instead of chemicals, which means no chemical by-products go back into the earth. It might not be the easiest way, but we believe that it's the right way.
Tomatoes aren't just our job, They're our way of life.
Since 1888, we've been doing tomatoes our own way. A different way.
"Some people call me 'The Tomato Guy.' And for whatever reason, I like tomatoes. I understand them. I've been with them for over 40 years."

The Peak of Ripeness
We pick Hunt’s tomatoes at the peak of ripeness. Other tomatoes—even the ones in the produce aisle at the grocery store—ripen either on the truck or in ethylene gas.
-
Fresh-from-the-vine Flavor
Hunt's tomatoes ripen on the vine. That means they're soft, fleshy, and full of juice and flavor on the inside. And you can taste the difference.
Preserving goodness
We peel all of our tomatoes with FlashSteam instead of chemicals like lye that some other companies use. Which also means no chemical by-products go back into the earth.
-
Tons of Tomatoes
Approximately 465 trailer loads of fresh tomatoes come down through the valley and into our plant every single day.
-
Little Waste, Big Difference
We use each and every part of the tomato to create the full line of Hunt’s products. So we have no waste, with no related transportation energy or impact on landfills.
It's good to be different.
Sometimes doing things differently is just the right thing to do. It might not be the easiest way, but here at Hunt's, we believe that it's the right way. That's why you can be sure that every time you create a meal with Hunt's tomatoes, you're cooking with the very best.
