Like every Sunday, I went shopping for the week and bought everything I needed, as always.
Nothing foreshadowed that this day would be different from the others.
But on the second day, after returning from work, I wanted to cook dinner for the family and set the table. That’s when an unexpected event happened.
Opening the refrigerator, I found the tomatoes from the previous day in a state I had never seen before.
These small strange marks on their skin immediately caught my attention. I was even scared, thinking that something was wrong. Was this a sign of spoilage or mold?
When I found out what it was, I was sh0cked.
After observing for a while, I realized that these marks were not just defects caused by heat or storage.
I learned that such damage is often caused by insect bites, such as tomato worms, in particular gray or white worms.
These insects burrow into the flesh of tomatoes, leaving behind visible marks like the ones we see here.
