Pomi All-Natural BPA-Free Tomatoes

September 22, 2010

Now that summer is over and our tomato plants are just about bare, we’re back to using canned tomatoes. They do work well in a pinch, but I don’t really love having BPA in our cans. So, when I learned about these boxed tomatoes by Pomi, I thought they were worth a try. Pomi tomatoes [...]
