THRIVE's Tomato Powder was probably the first product review I read online and though I'm not typically a tomato product connoisseur, I was quite intrigued. For pete's sake... I have about 2 feet of pantry space just for tomato products: Tomato Sauce, Marinara Sauce, Tomato Soup, Tomato Paste, Tomato Juice... Seriously, does anyone else have a disproportionate of pantry space allocated for tomato?

The Tomato Powder thickens up as it sits. To get a nice, thick consistency from the get-go, mix the Tomato Powder with hot water.
