Okay but am I the only one disturbed that somehow tomatoes are too expensive but pizza…which is made with tomato sauce…is getting cheaper? Unless…what is dominos making their sauce out of?

Tomato sauce is produced in the hot months, sterilized, and stored in large aseptic containers to be used all year long, or more. This summer's inflation isn't inside the sauce yet.

Tomatoes also ship like crap, so the stuff coming online in America and Mexico right now is not going to be served in India in any way shape or form.

Even when tomatoes are supposed to be in season they are somehow still shipped unripe to supermarkets.

The unripe ones are firmer and can handle long truck rides a bit better
