BigBasket offers the cheapest Tomatoes; Check
In recent months, India has experienced unusually high rainfall, which has damaged tomato crops and led to a decline in supply.
Tomatoes are sold at sky-high prices. Ketchup has replaced tomatoes to an extent, and even McDonald's has removed tomatoes from their menu. How much ever expensive they become, tomatoes are still an essential ingredient in every Indian recipe. Indian cuisine is incomplete without them as they add that perfect taste and texture to our delicious dishes. So no matter the price, we will have to buy tomatoes. The best is to check is to look for places that offer discounts on vegetables.
Before comparing tomato prices on various online platforms, we asked my local supplier about tomato prices. Tomatoes are currently selling for Rs 150 per kg. Prices can go up and down depending on the location. In certain areas in Secunderabad, tomato prices are crossing the Rs 150/kg mark. So this was all about the offline market. What about online grocery apps like Swiggy Instamart, BigBasket, and Blinkit? Which one is better? Let's check.
