Sundried and semi-dried tomatoes are an easy way to add Mediterranean flavour to everyday meals. But what's the difference? It mainly comes down to their texture, moisture content and flavour. Here's how to choose the right one for your kitchen.
What Are Sundried Tomatoes?

Sundried tomatoes have more moisture removed during drying, giving them a firmer, more compact texture and a rich, concentrated flavour.

What Are Semi-Dried Tomatoes?
