Tomato Sauce

Store-bought tomato sauce in a jar helps make a quick meal. It's also a good source of vitamins C and A and the cancer-fighting antioxidant lycopene. We sampled 64 organic and natural varieties-and found these four to be the tastiest.

Mom's Fresh Garlic & Basil ($8.50 /24 oz.; jelly.com) This chunky sauce is made with whole basil leaves, soft cloves of garlic, Sicilian olive oil, and unpeeled vine-ripened tomatoes, which have twice the vitamin C of hothouse tomatoes. (That's why ½ cup of the sauce provides 25 percent of your daily vitamin C needs.)	Bove's of Vermont Organic Vodka ($4 /16 oz.; boves.com) Slightly sweet and a little bit spicy, this hearty sauce is made with all-organic ingredients, including vodka from Maine and diced tomatoes. Heavy cream and aged Pecorino Romano cheese add richness but not too much saturated fat (one serving contains only 0.5 grams).
Amy's Kitchen Puttanesca ($6.40 /24.5 oz.; amys.com) A vegetarian take on the traditional puttanesca recipe, this sauce is filled with veggies like zucchini, carrots, and caramelized onions- and doesn't contain anchovies. Slow-cooked tomatoes and balsamic vinegar give the sauce its dark-red color.	Seeds of Change Sicilian Spicy Eggplant ($6 /24.5 oz.; seedsofchangefoods.com) Chile pepper gives this organic eggplant sauce some kick, but the flavor is balanced by a touch of sweet fig paste. The sauce's thick, almost meaty consistency makes it perfect for topping spaghetti, and one serving satisfies 40 percent of your daily iron needs.
