Don't see bags of dehydrated tomatoes on the shop-shelf

I do. I have a bag in the cabinet. I use it most often on pizzas and pasta. Dehydrated tomatoes are delicious and are generally labeled "sun dried" even when there is no sun involved in the drying. Plus, I can order tomato powder and use it for things. Admittedly, I don't care for eating the dried tomatoes plain as it concentrates the flavor more (or differently?) than tomato paste does.

Sun dried tomatoes seem to work well in pizza dough too.

As in throw in a few chunks while making the base, and the flavour seems to transfer well without screwing things up. :)
