Behold, tomato paste in a tube:
Though tomato paste in a tube is slightly more expensive than its canned counterpart, it is typically double-concentrated and can be stored in your refrigerator for some time after opening. Not every store has it, and prices can vary widely. Trader Joe's sold me my first tubed paste, but they don't seem to stock it anymore. These days, I buy my tubed paste, typically the Amore brand, at either Goose the Market or Meijer.

I know it's a good idea. I understand it eliminates waste and excess. But it's in a tube. I'm having a hard time getting over that. :)
The tubed paste is better tasting, too. I never really noticed how tinny canned paste was until I made the switch.
I went grocery shopping today and lucky for me I'd read this post first! I bought my first tube at Whole Foods for $2.67. Yes, pricey, but I think it will save me in the long run. I always hate to open a can just to use a bit and then the rest just sits in the fridge sadly, staining a little reusable container. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing it.
is the tube recyclable?
anna lisa - Good question! Of course, it depends a bit on your local recycling programs, but, yes, the tubes can be recycled. Like old-school toothpaste tubes, these tubes are made of aluminum.
They now sell it at the Good Earth too...
