As the name suggests, sun-dried tomatoes are ripe tomatoes that have been sun-dried and lost their juice as a result. This brings out the naturally sweet and tangy flavors of the tomatoes. Due to their strong and intense flavor, sun-dried tomatoes are used in many recipes. You can find these in your grocery store. They usually come in a jar filled with olive oil and are usually available in the canned vegetables department or sometimes in the fresh produce section.
