Deeli, do you know the comparisons for how much actual tomato there is per can, vs the water, when comparing whole, diced, crushed, and stewed tomatoes? It seems to me that with a can of whole tomatoes there is a lot more water than with the others. Thanks!

As a real tomato lover this is a super tip to have. I've already made several copies to put in my favorite cookbooks. Thanks, Deeli!
