I figure out that the increase of the production and as well consumption of organic tomato to these days has improved a lot and maybe now there are many more farms dedicated to the production of this important vegetable especially for countries like Germany or others
That’s just crazy to me that such a large portion of the organic tomato crop goes to germany, and they’re not even considered to have a national/cultural cuisine that include tomatoes, unlike Italy. I would have expected that from Italy, not Germany though!
