There’s always that moment. You open a can of tomato paste for something—maybe chili, maybe a quick pasta—and you scoop out what you need. A tablespoon, maybe two. That’s it. And then you just… stand there for a second. Because now you’ve got the rest of it. You could cover it and put it in the fridge. You probably will. But if we’re being honest, there’s a decent chance it ends up forgotten behind the yogurt or that jar of pickles you swore you’d use last week. It happens. More than we admit. But here’s the funny part—tomato paste is …
