## Resource

Tomatoes are skyrocketing in price—up 21% in April, the biggest jump in the consumer price index since tracking began—sending shoppers into panic mode and even forcing restaurants to remove them from menus. Experts blame a combo of extreme weather, trade policies, and supply chain issues, with Florida freezes and Mexican rains crippling crops, while U.S. tariffs and higher fuel costs squeezed growers. But there’s hope: with summer harvests on the way, prices could drop sharply, bringing BLTs back to your table sooner than you think.
