About Green tomato

A green tomato is an unripe tomato harvested before it develops its usual ripe colour, though some tomato varieties also remain green when ripe. The record does not specify variety, so this name is best understood as a tomato described by its green colour or harvest stage. The fruit is usually firm, with a tart, vegetal flavour when unripe.

Green tomatoes may be sliced and cooked, pickled, or used in relishes and other preparations. Their texture softens with cooking, and ripeness affects flavour and composition. Fresh fruit should be distinguished from cooked, pickled, or preserved products when comparing nutrition, since preparation and added ingredients can alter the measured result.
