I'd never heard of them before, but it does seem concerning.

I found the holy grail for DIY energy geeks.

This rivals the engineering toolkit I posted a few weeks ago.

We grew, picked, washed, *sliced*, triaged, and dried 2.438 kg of Blondköpfchen tomatoes (about 770 tomatoes).




That dehydrated down to just 300g. Turned out to be a bit over a quart in volume.


It required a significant amount of work, equipment, and skills, but they are SO GOOD. They'll last at least a year in storage (if you can stop people from eating them for that long).

Not for sale. There's a reason nobody sells dehydrated cherry tomatoes, let alone Blondköpfchen. Too much work. Only the wealthiest people would be able to afford them.
