Abstract
A method of making chunk tomato pieces from tomatoes. The tomatoes are introduced into a tomato preparation system where they are cleaned, de-stemmed, peeled and chopped. This creates a mixture of tomato chucks, seeds and juice. The tomato chunks are separated from the seeds and juice. The juice is separated from the seeds and subsequently added back to the chunks in proper proportions.
