    Is it safe to eat?

    Only one way to find out, let us know how it goes!

    Honestly, it just looks like some surface punctures/abrasions that dried up, at least the ones on past peppers looked about like that. I’d check it for pests once you’re inside but it should be fine to cut around those bits and enjoy.

    A likely culprit may be stinkbugs feeding if they’re common in your area. The wounds on the fruit don’t look like hornworm or fruit worm damage I’ve seen. There may be other egg-laying pests in your region, so if anything is off about it inside the fruit please don’t eat it.

    Hell no that isn’t safe to eat!

    How did you ancestors survive for 5 billion years with instincts like that?

    For what it’s worth I’d never buy that at a store. I love tomatoes and I’m super-picky about them.

    Firm, ripe, no wrinkly skin.

    It looks like it’s sprouting. Some hasty internet research says that a sprouting tomato is safe to eat but might not taste its best.

      sprouting comes from the other side and would be accompanied by green bits coming out not dry holes. I was too slow to eat a tomato I bought and it started sprouting. Planted a slice in a pot and it grew into a plant.
