Every summer, exquisite produce peaks in August, particularly tomatoes known for their rich flavor. The season offers various types like beefsteaks and Sungolds, perfect for salads and sandwiches. However, as fall approaches, the high-quality tomatoes disappear, leaving behind bland, imported alternatives. The recent imposition of tariffs on Mexican tomatoes adds to their price without improving their flavor or quality. While winter tomatoes are often criticized, they still find a place in meals, highlighting a cultural fondness for fresh produce.
Every summer, there is a brief window when the produce is exquisite, especially tomatoes which are unparalleled. Enjoy them while you can.
Out-of-season tomatoes tend to be pale, mealy, and bland; they can fill out a salad but lack flavor.
This year, tomatoes in the fall will be affected by the 17 percent tariffs on Mexican tomatoes, leading to higher prices without improving quality.
Grumbling about winter tomatoes indicates a national hobby while simultaneously, the existence of out-of-season tomatoes remains a small miracle.
