So, how many pounds is a bushel of tomatoes? Roughly 53 pounds. Give or take a few, depending on the tomato’s mood that day. Write it down. Stick it on your fridge.
Now, here’s your next question: “Do I need 53 pounds of tomatoes?” The answer is almost always yes. You just don’t know it yet. Tomatoes freeze well. Tomatoes become ketchup. Tomatoes make you look like a hero at summer dinners.
Go ahead. Buy the bushel. Live your tomato-filled dreams. Your future self—stirring a giant pot of sauce—will thank you. And if you mess up the weight? Eh, just call it a “rustic” batch.
Now, who’s up for tomato sandwiches? Thought so.
