ReplyDeleteWow!!!
ReplyDeleteTomatoes' very very cheap now.I have a big basket in my freezer.And like every week,a friend calls me up and ask "I am in d market.do u want tomatoes?they are soo fresh!
ReplyDeleteLOL.
Others have too but just want to stock up some more but space is d problem. A very big basket is sold btw 1,500 and 2K.
Its Rice and Stew all d way!
Easy easy. Shuuuuuu!
DeleteSo I heard. But I still bought 6 tiny seeds for N50 yesterday.
DeleteLook for space & buy another freezer darling. D price can shoot up anytime, plus easter is around d corner! U can use d extra freezer for goat, chicken & fish too.
DeleteTGW, Na only basket u get?
DeleteMe, i av a trailer load in my freezer too
@ Teddy,LOL.its not just about buying n storing.it's about preserving it.cos as soon as u defrost d tomatoes,it wil only be good for making stew.nothing else.
Delete@ Dauda,u were cheated.they use 100 bucks own for jara wen u buy 50 bucks.LolZ.
Ahahahahaha...no wonder that Hausa man was giving me plenty tomatoes yesterday. I need to stop carrot juice and let tomatoes juice take over jare

DeleteTGW,pls,how can tomatoes be stored in the freezer?. Do you need to blend it first?
DeleteAnon 12:04, first thing is to select & separate the very hard fresh ones, wash those thoroughly & bag them then put in d freezer. The not so hard & soft ones, wash, blend, boil, then put into bowls & then in d freezer. I normally reserve the best of the best for the fridge for everyday slicing for eggs, noodles etc.
DeleteThanks Teddy!
DeleteThat bagging is d best method.But note that u can only use it for stew or sauce as d tomatoes go soft and watery when defrosted.
Alternatively,u can blend all d soft ones and bag it and leave for some hours so as to drain d tomatoe water/juice.
After that,u just bag It.
Some people blend and fry d tomatoes too.den wen dey wanna make d stew,all dey do is boil d chicken and continue from dere.if u ask me,I feel dis method Isn't as fresh as it ought to be. LolZ
But if u ask me,washing and bagging them or putting in big buckets is d best.
Like Teddy already said,bring out d very hard ones u can use for eggs,yam sauce and salads.refrigerate this ones.
*waves* Hiiii Teddy Boo-Bae!
@ Asoge there are two things I pray my tongue never touches:
1,Honey.
2,Tomatoe Juice.
I guess that is the only thing still cheap in this country.
ReplyDeleteExcept in Lekki, runs girls now take as low as 2/3k for short time & 5k for overnight.
DeleteEnd time tomatoes
ReplyDeleteYes oh! Goodnews for us. Lol
ReplyDeleteA basket of Tomatoes now is 1500
DeleteBad for them, good for us
ReplyDeleteMtchewwww

ReplyDeleteYes oooo...
ReplyDeleteSince Jan I just they eat my fresh tomatoes dey go.
In the east where I live a bucket goes for 400 naira as against 800 that was sold before
Very good news oo..fresh tomatoes everywhere at a very gooooood price..we thank God...may it continue to be so with other farm produce of my MOTHER LAND..GOD BLESS NAIJA

ReplyDeleteSince late last year, the price of tomatoes has been fair. Good news.

ReplyDeleteWhat sort of blog name is that? Tell your friend that her name is her brand....if people can't pronounce it..she's finished
DeleteIt is Onegeria. Like one Nigeria.
DeleteYEs o! Buy tomatoes of N100 u nor go fit use am finish.
ReplyDeleteOkay
ReplyDeleteCan we face agriculture?
The only cheap things in Nigeria right now is tomato,pepper & onions.
ReplyDeleteI know that of onions. I bought tomatoes last in November. It's still remaining sef.
DeleteNot necessarily.
ReplyDeleteIt may seem like good news for now as the prices are low but if nothing is done to stem the waste and encourage the farmers, a lot of them will go into other crops next planting season with the mindset that tomato farming doesn't pay.
If that happens, na 20k per basket dem go sell as demand will be higher than supply.
Who's the minister in charge of of Agriculture and Nat. Resources? This is the time to stop import of tin tomatoes and start producing 'good quality' Nigerian made tomato purée.
Any little food import stopped will help our naira as it will reduce the dollar requirement of the country.
There was a time lastyear I bought a basket for N32k
DeleteGbamest!!!! You are very correct, the minister should step in and help the farmers device way to preserve the surplus tomatoes.
Delete32k!!! You see am?
DeleteThe problem is that those in power have refused to have foresight.
The masses are only concerned about today, everyone's rejoicing about cheap tomatoes now but not looking into the future.
God help us.
I went to the market to buy N100 tomatoes, it was so many that I had to remind the seller that I wanted just N100 own, she said she knows, I was like "Nigeria don better"
ReplyDeleteThe only cheap food in the market now is tomatoes. May it remain so
ReplyDeleteWaoh, goodnews,no wonder we buy it 1500-1700k per basket here
ReplyDeleteIn abuja 1500-1700?? We buy directly from the truck people that comes from the north. The last we bought was 800 Naira. I'm in lagos. 1500 is still fair sha
DeleteI thought as much,tomato is to cheap dis days dat u will be wondering if it was stolen and they are so fresh..
ReplyDeleteThey are so red and succulent.
ReplyDeleteVery frosh.
I should get a basket or half atleast...
@Princess Scheherazade just spoke my mind exactly...Spot on! FMCG Companies should tap into this surplus and start the production of tomato puree for Nigerian market consumption and exportation pronto!
ReplyDeleteCan't they use some for tin tomatoes paste as a way of storage?
ReplyDeleteDo people enjoy using fresh tomatoes without adding the already tinned ones?
Where is d light for preservation?mschew
ReplyDeleteGood for the country, more of such in Naija
ReplyDeleteGood. Since dollars ran away from Nigeria, we can get into agriculture and do something. The APC magicians oya oooo come an do something for us. Propaganda party
ReplyDeletewe are unfortunate to find ourselves amongst talk talk politicians cum ministers. this is the time to act for the ministry of agriculture. measures should be put in place IMMEDIATELY to preserve the farmers tomatoes to avoid waste. Also, reasons why we have these kind of increase in tomato harvest should be noted and applied more. Atleast Nigeria will have a decrease in importation of coloured stuff called tin tomato. #buymadeinnigeriagoods to save the naira
ReplyDeleteNo be lie ooo 1painter full na 300 or 250 sef, everything I cook now I must add tomatoes...been cooking rice n stew like craze.
