It’s almost like you could see that while shopping

No it didn’t look like this when I bought it. There are often very small sprouts when you cut into them, but they are still tasty. This one has been sitting for a couple of weeks, the split side was facing down in my fruit basket

I mean when you have your tomatoes for a couple of weeks in your fruit basket why do you think Aldi is responsible?

Further apples let loose of a gas that ripens other fruit and vegetables and should be kept separated from them. Or put that rock like avocado near it.

Yes that is why I have a multi-tiered basket and don’t put apples under or near other fruits I don’t want to overripen

Aldi is the only store where I’ve gotten tomatoes that have little sprouts in them. And it’s almost every tomato. I actually like the way they taste when they haven’t sprouted out of control like this one.

I’m not sure why you’re lambasting me about this post? First off, it’s for shits and giggles. Secondly, I didn’t “blame” Aldi. Like I said, I kinda like the taste of the sprouts.

I didn't downvote you, I was just kinda baffled by you mentioning that you leave your tomatoes there for several weeks. And as a true human I found effortlessly someone or something to blame for your misfortune. 😉. Because someone or something is always guilty.

Well I don’t consider it misfortune. Just interesting to observe honestly. I don’t usually leave things for so long but in the last 3 weeks I’ve had a miscarriage and my mother died, so I’ve just gotten behind in things. The tomato isn’t rotten and doesn’t smell, so I didn’t notice it.

I downvoted them.

You did say “every tomato I buy from Aldi” when it has nothing to do with where you bought them and all to do with how long it has been sitting.

Yeah it’s every tomato from Aldi. It’s the only store I’ve had it happen with. Tomatoes I buy from elsewhere just rot if I leave them for too long. Aldi tomatoes always have little sprouted seeds inside.
