A Jar of Tomatoes (Open) is a jar of preserved tomatoes with the seal broken and the contents ready to use. It comes from opening a sealed Jar of Tomatoes with the Open Jar of Preserved Food recipe. Once open, the tomatoes spoil as fast as fresh ones.
The open jar holds the same amount of food as the 4 tomatoes that went into it. It can be eaten as it is, but it shines as a cooking ingredient. Tomatoes go into more dishes than most vegetables. When the jar is used up, it leaves an Empty Jar behind for the next batch of preserves.
Eating
The whole jar lowers hunger by 48. That matches 4 fresh tomatoes, since a single Tomato lowers hunger by 12. The jar weighs 0.8, which is heavier than the fresh tomatoes because of the glass.
The full jar holds 56 calories, 14 grams of carbohydrates and 5.2 grams of protein, with almost no fat. It is filling but light on energy, so it does little to keep body weight up. It carries no mood penalty.
Compared with the Jar of Carrots (Open), it fills a little more but gives less than half the energy. The open carrot jar lowers hunger by 40 and holds 125 calories.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
| Item | Hunger | Calories | Carbs | Protein | Fat |

| Jar of Tomatoes (Open) | -48 | 56 | 14 | 5.2 | 0.8 |
Cooking
The open jar adds 12 hunger each to Pizza, Soup, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Rice and Pasta. It adds 6 each to an Omelette, Sandwich, Burger, Salad, Taco and Burrito. These are the same values a fresh tomato adds.
One jar can feed several dishes over a day or two. Tomatoes pair well with the pasta, rice and pizza bases that keep for a long time on shelves. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further in an evolved dish.

Storage
Once opened, the tomatoes stay fresh for 2 days and are rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts. A sealed jar keeps for years, so it is best left closed until it is needed.
Notes
- Open a jar right before cooking pasta, rice, pizza or stew so nothing goes to waste.
- One open jar equals 4 fresh tomatoes for both eating and cooking.
- Tomatoes add twice as much hunger to soup, stew, pasta and pizza as to salads or sandwiches.
- The Empty Jar left behind can be refilled with the Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe.
