Um, #TomatoPorn is now a thing and we’re seriously confused

Olivia Hayes

Yep, you read that headline right.

#TomatoPorn is all the rage right now thanks to the gloriously hot weather the world has been experiencing over the past few months.

While some farmers are finding it tough, tomato farmers are loving life right now as plant is absolutely booming.

However, it’s not the regular ‘ol plum tomatoes that are making it onto social media… according to the Independent UK, it’s anything that’s black, dark red or purple that tomato farmers are absolutely loving.

Black tomatoes are so on trend right now that some London restaurants are even charging around £8.50 for a ‘heritage tomato’ starter. Standard.

When we first caught wave of the new trend, we thought it was BS to be honest, but taking one quick scroll through Instagram – the hashtag is very much alive.

Almost ready… #tomatoporn #nofilter #backyardgarden #thisoneisforkim
