The age‑old question: Is tomato a fruit or a vegetable? Technically, it’s a fruit. But here in South Africa, we classify and enjoy it as a vegetable and a very important one at that! 🌍 Worldwide, over 180 million tonnes of tomatoes are produced each year. South Africa contributes more than 500,000 tonnes to that total. If it takes 36 ripe tomatoes to fill one bottle of All Gold tomato sauce I wonder how many bottles it will fill each year. 🙂 Let's break it down: 𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: 0.15 kilograms 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 500,000,000 kg (500,000 tons) ÷ 0.15 kg/tomato = 3,333,333,333 tomatoes 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀: 3,333,333,333 divided by 36 = 92592592.5833 𝗪𝗼𝘄!! Now, how do you prefer your tomatoes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8Ht9wPigtg
