Burger King has scrapped tomatoes from its wraps and burgers in many Indian outlets after prices more than quadrupled, the latest symptom of surging food inflation that is hitting consumers hard across the world's most populous nation.
I’ve noticed that this is the case in pretty much all store bought tomatoes in the last few years, even the ugly, expensive heirloom ones. I wonder if they’re all just hydroponically grown, but I know there are a lot of factors to these and I’m probably eating a tomato that was harvested over a year ago.
I can often get a nice tomato from local farms, but even that’s not a guarantee.
