BUT it is ok to cut the bottom, yukky parts off, and eat the rest – I do it all the time! I just cut “generously” around any rotten parts – the rest is fine.

My first time gardening and have had a few of these. Ugh – they are like boils on a fucking ass.

Keep top half and toss into your next sauce.

Cut off the rot portion and eat what’s left. They’re not really “rotten”.

Ugh! So sad

I find that BER is much more destructive than it looks from the outside. I’ve tried to ripen fruit with BER and they’re usually rotten to the core, literally. Best to just pick them when you notice the problem.

Cut into it and look for the diseased part and remove as many have suggested.
I actually think cutting into them is important even if its not your endgame as I’ve found black spots in San marzanos that visually looked great otherwise.

What’s crazy is all my Blossom end rot started early in the season and I left them on the plant. 90% healed up and scabbed over. Most were completely edible other than the scabbed part

Do you have soaker hoses set up on a timer

I use calcium spray maybe twice a month and almost never get blossom end rot. Worth a try.

It happens to the best of us. You did right by them by this tribute.

Last summer, I lost my first big batch to blossom end rot and it was heartbreaking. I started adding crushed eggshells for calcium and made sure not to let the soil dry out between waterings, huge difference this year. Hope it works for you!

I planted an Olla next to each of my tomato plants, and reduced my BR loss by 95%:)

It’s true, they’re beautiful. I’d be cutting off the bad parts and slathering them in mayonnaise and pepper, yummy!
