Neither of my parallel playtrough heroes have been able to verify the existence of fresh tomatoes yet, but I will trust Rodeolifant's and Fylimar's judgement of vegetable freshness. I will accept that Baldur's Gate III in fact features unspoilt tomatoes (although a picture would help non-believers to see the red light).
But do hold off the GOTY nominations! Some other pressing matters need to be resolved first. Specifically, where are the fresh carrots? And where are the fresh bananas?
