Back in Việt Nam I could pick the ripe ones in the market, but since I moved to South Korea, they are hard as rocks. I often have to buy tomatoes a week or two in advance and wonder about your situation. Some are too green and refuse to ripen even after a month.
Cherry tomatoes are still good, though not suitable for finer sauces that require peeling.
Where I am in Australia they are a weird pink colour and are flavourless, also $10 per kg so I havent had tomato for about a month. I miss a good tomato 🍅
Yea it’s similarly bad and expensive here)-; BTW I’m curios if my other comment got in your inbox.
Not till I clicked the link. I am a RIFugee so still muddling way through the newness caused by the Reddapocalypse.
