Questions about Green tomato
How do you fry green tomatoes so they stay crisp?
Slice them about 1 cm thick, dip in seasoned flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs or cornmeal, then fry in a shallow layer of hot oil for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Drain on a wire rack rather than kitchen paper to keep the coating crisp.
Can you use green tomatoes to make chutney?
Yes. Chop them with onion, apples, vinegar, sugar and spices, then simmer gently for about an hour, stirring often, until thick. They hold their shape and bring a tart flavour to chutney.
How do you ripen green tomatoes indoors?
Put unblemished tomatoes in a single layer in a warm room, out of direct sunlight, and check them every few days. To speed things up, place them in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple.
How should you store green tomatoes?
Keep firm green tomatoes at room temperature, away from direct sun, and use them before they soften or develop mould. Once cut, refrigerate them in a covered container and use within a few days.
Are green tomatoes safe to eat raw?
Firm, unripe tomatoes can taste sharply tart and may be bitter; cooking softens their flavour. Avoid eating the leaves and stems, and discard fruit that tastes strongly bitter.
Are green tomatoes the same as tomatillos?
No. Green tomatoes are unripe or green-ripening tomatoes; tomatillos are a different fruit, usually enclosed in a papery husk, with a firmer texture and tangy flavour. They can sometimes stand in for one another in salsa, but the result will taste different.
Are green tomatoes a source of vitamin C?
Yes. A medium green tomato, about 123 g, provides 28.8 mg of vitamin C.
