Tomato Paste vs Tomato Sauce
Tomato paste is much more concentrated and contains less water than tomato sauce. It is therefore thicker and generally weighs more for the same volume.
The two ingredients should not be treated as having the same density when converting between cups and grams.

- Pack the paste gently into a measuring spoon or cup to remove large air pockets.
- Level the surface before reading the measurement.
- Scrape the utensil carefully to transfer the full measured amount.
- Freeze leftover tomato paste in tablespoon-sized portions for convenient future use.
