Looks like you grew tomacco.
But seriously, I’ve got no idea, I’ve never seen that before.

Hmmm maybe I should have cut up my paste tomatoes before freezing 🫤
Acceptable_Travel_20
Oh no. They look so good in the last picture!

You can slice/scoop that out and the rest should be fine for sauce
Nurse_Hatchet
OK, I swear that one has teeth…

Some of my peppers are doing this. I’m cutting out bad centers. I’m still alive so maybe there’s hope for you!!

Just cut out the bad part. The rest of the tomato is fine to use.

All of mine had blossom end rot. None of my other tomatoes did. Never again.

It’s probably seed mold. A lot of people are having this issue it’s been an especially humid year. Just cut around it

I had that last year. It happened to those san marzano plants which had blossom end rot. I used extra calmag fertilizers this year and so far they are all fine.

Ditto. BER, rot inside, hollow not filled. Zone 6b MA

Oh no. Now I’m worried. I’ve got mine all in the freezer waiting to make sauce at the end of the seasons.

I went to work Friday morning, checked my vegetable garden.. about 17-20 Roma tomatoes still green and growing… I got home and was left with 3.. damn squirrels took them ALL… I can relate to the loss of tomatoes

I just made a sauce with mine. I blended them whole and now I’m terrified.

Mine were completely ripped off, vine was even broken. We have a black walnut tree so squirrels activity is heavy

Definitely don’t eat the black stuff, it’s all rot and mold.
Was there a prolonged period of rainfall preceding this? Whatever this is seems to disproportionally affect San marzanos. It’s not your classic BER. Maybe it’s some sort of water-related cracking that invites pathogens into the base.

Yeah I’ve lost many peppers this year because of either blossom end rot or seed mold like some suggested due to it being so humid this year. Which checks out in s/e Ontario

Unless you live in the hills of San marzano, it’s just sparkling tomato.

That is so weird! I’ve never seen blossom end rot like that before. Yikes.
I hope you get some fruits that are unaffected.

As long as the jalapeños are okay! No worries 😉

I get this in some of my SMs. Usually there is a blemish at the end, but not always. I also had a really weird thing happen. Some of the seeds inside of the SMs were sprouting inside of the tomato. OP, just hang in there, they will come around eventually.

Literally all of mine were like this too this year! I ended up cutting out the rotten parts and I cooked them into a sauce. But that’s so bizarre we both had the exact same issue
DangerousAstronaut38
Oh no! 😭
EstroJen
About 95% of my san marzanos got blossom end rot. I watered them the same as my Romas and other tomatoes so I don’t know wtf is going on.
MagicalWhisk
It’s a fungus I think, not blossom end rot. Have you had a wet growing season? Or possibly overwatered the plants/had poor drainage?
It isn’t poisonous, you can cut out the affected areas and salvage the rest.
