About
Why Dos Tomates exists.
Dos Tomates started with a simple question: if two tomatoes look the same, how would anyone know they’re different inside? Today, mostly they wouldn’t. The farms that care most about soil and flavour have no affordable way to show it, and the people buying their food have nothing to compare.
We think the answer is a shared record: tests paid for together by the people who grow, sell and eat the food, run by independent labs, shared with everyone who funded them and, when the farm agrees, with everyone else.

Why “Dos Tomates”?
Two tomatoes: the same on the outside, different inside. It’s the comparison at the heart of every test, and a name that’s easy to say in Spanish and English.
Where we are
Phase 1: this prototype, the draft protocols and conversations with the first farms, labs and partners. Everything marked “example” or “illustrative” on this site is made up to show how the platform will work.
