Add to shepherd's or cottage pie to increase the intensity of the sauce.

SNACKS & SPREADS

Mix with granulated garlic and "bagel seasoning," and sprinkle on top of tomato slices for dehydrating, on homemade bagels, on celery stuffed with cottage cheese, or on toothpaste...YUM!
DRINKS
Tomato juice:
8 cups water
1 cup tomato powder
salt to taste
TIP: Add a little celery powder and vegetable powder to kick it up a notch. You may want to put the veg powder in a reusable tea bag and use it to flavor if you don't like the grit left at the bottom since it may not dissolve fully.
Bloody Mary Mocktail
DESSERTS
Add tomato powder to your favorite spice cake.
