Tomatoes are a raw ingredient whose intrinsic is
Strength. They replace beetroots. Eaten raw, they heal 2 ( × 1).[1]
Obtaining
Farming
Tomatoes grow from tomato seeds like beetroots. A fully grown crop drops 1 to 3 tomatoes and no seeds; an unripe one drops 1 seed. The loot table applies Fortune and the Electrum tool intrinsic and then sets the count to 1 to 3, which overrides both bonuses, so neither adds tomatoes (see Known bugs).[2] Seeds are made by crafting a tomato into 3 seeds.
A crop broken by a villager drops differently: a fully grown one gives exactly 2 tomatoes and 2 tomato seeds, and an unripe one 2 seeds. This lets a farmer villager, which can plant tomato seeds but not tomatoes, replant the crops it harvests.[3][4]

History
| 0.6-alpha | Tomato soup renamed to grilled tomatoes, and pickled tomatoes to sun-dried tomatoes. |
|---|---|
| 1.10 | Tomato recipes unlock from raw tomatoes. |
| 1.12.2 | The release notes say Fortune now works on tomatoes, but the loot table's fixed count cancels it. |
| 1.12.3 | Fortune and the Electrum intrinsic add tomatoes: the table now sets the count before the bonuses.[5] |
| 1.12.6-alpha | The table sets the count after the Fortune and Electrum bonuses again, so they no longer add tomatoes.[6] |
| 1.12.9 October 31, 2026 |
A fully grown crop broken by a villager drops 2 tomatoes and 2 seeds, so farmer villagers can replant tomatoes.[7] |
