August - tomato

Cherry or cocktail, date or large beef tomato: Countless tomato varieties are grown and consumed in Switzerland. That's why tomatoes are among the most popular vegetables. But be cautious: from a botanical perspective, tomatoes are a fruit.

When storing, make sure to keep tomatoes separate from other vegetables and fruits. Tomatoes contain ethylene, which accelerates the ripening process of surrounding fruits.

Afterward, you can use the tomatoes, for example, to make a delicious soup - like our chilled vegan cucumber-tomato soup! Delightful!
