Let's get tomatoes and help the farmers!
Why tomatoes?
HOT*HOT*HOT! Due to the dryness in the last couple of weeks, there's an oversupply of fresh tomatoes. Tomato growers get less value for their juicy harvest and chances are high that lots of tomatoes will go to waste... UNLESS we all work together and go TOMATOES the coming weeks/months! And that's the Wonky mission: stop food waste together with you Wonky Heroes!
Therefore we provide you with some inspiration on how to consume an extra amount of fresh tomatoes. We will show you how you can process a bunch of tomatoes and preserve them for the future. Let's all get tomatoes and help our farmers!
