Tomato skins@3. Very interesting to note that tires contain 30% carbon black, not only rubber-tree latex. From working at a tomato cannery I can also report that these skins (along with other tomato parts that don't end up in sauce etc.) are already dried and sold as "tomato pomace" for animal feed. So the product is available to highest bidder.
