NH: We understand Just Tomatoes, Etc! has been in business since 1985. Tell our readers a little about your company and how you've grown.
RN: As fourth and fifth generation farmers in California's beautiful central valley, we have a true commitment to offering the highest quality, all-natural dried fruits and vegetables on the market. This is a family-owned business that has been cultivated carefully and lovingly over the last 26 years by Bill and Karen Cox.

NH: How did you go from being farmers to producing these products?
RN: It was Karen Cox and her desire to provide healthy, fresh food for her family in a new and convenient way. She started by dehydrating tomatoes. She offered them as a snack at a dinner party, and no one would believe that they were just tomatoes. She continued to tell her guests that they were truly just tomatoes! And that's when she knew she had something great, hence our namesake.
NH: What type of products do you offer?
RN: Well, every time we thought of yet another vegetable or fruit that would be delicious dried, we offered it! We now have more than 37 different conventional and organic offerings. Because of this, we changed our name from Just Tomatoes to Just Tomatoes, Etc!
NH: Tell us a little about the reason for your new single-serve snack packs.
RN: With the fast-paced life everyone leads, we felt creating single-serve snack packs would make it easier for those wanting to grab n' go, so we chose our six most popular flavors: Just Strawberries, Just Strawberries n' Bananas, Just Raspberries, Just Bananas, Just Fruit Salad and Just Fruit Munchies. And they come in perfect little mini versions of our larger zip-lock resealable pouches, so they're easy to identify.
NH: Does the same family still run the company?
RN: Absolutely. And you can depend on their commitment to fresh and healthy snacks for years to come.
NH: So then, you add nothing other than the vegetables or fruits to your process?
BH: This is what we pride ourselves on most. Since 1985, we have added absolutely nothing! No additives, preservatives or sweeteners. Our products are kosher certified, and those that are organic are rigorously tested and are organic certified by Quality Assurance International. Also, all of our products are naturally gluten, dairy, wheat and nut-free.
NH: Is there anything else you'd like to add?
RN: Yes, we look forward to helping retailers increase their product sales! We invite everyone to come see us at Expo East, booth No. 3461 to check out all of our products, enjoy samples and get more information about our products.
