  1. They are just unripe red tomatoes. My father makes them.

  2. yes, unripe red tomatos

  3. No they are not unripe. They are many variations on your standard grocery store tomoato. They have yellow, red, and even green. Try your local farmers market to see.

  4. Yes they are and tasty. And what you don’t cook, put in a window sill and rippen. Now you are talking……Time to run to the store. Come on over and we will have some!

  5. yes

  6. Yes, the recipe for fried green tomatoes uses un-ripe red tomatoes.
    There are also Ripe green tomatoes. You can usually find them at farmers markets or at up-scale grocery stores in season. They are what is considered “heirloom” tomatoes. Tomatoes that were grown many years ago and are starting to gain popularity once again.

  7. In life little green pearls develop on the plant that enlarge to become Green tomatoes. These grow and ripen in plump red tomatoes.. So simply tomatoes that have not ripened yet..

    Slice, dip in egg wash and fry til golden and delicious, Serve with ketchup

    Cut into thick steaks add olive oil with salt/pepper and grill outside for a few minutes to get grill marks. Serve with beef steak. Awesome

  8. No–you use unripened red tomatoes to make fried green tomatoes–delish!!! Makes me hungry for them.

  9. No a tomato that is still green is all you need.This is an easy problem solved….

  10. NO!!!!!!

    green tomatoes are NOT unripe tomatoes…they are completely different…they never turn red because they are not supossed to much in the same way that Guineo Verde Bananas are always green and are not the same as regular bananas…

    you can ask your grocer to order them…they usually are available but most supermarkets don’t carry them all the time because there is very little demand for them…
