What is good with fried green tomatoes?<\/strong> The options are endless! Fried green tomatoes on a sandwich pair well with a creamy sauce or mayo-based dressing, and fresh toppings or condiments.

What is so special about fried green tomatoes?<\/strong> They've got a signature slightly tart and sweet flavor that makes them stick out from other tomatoes. When these unripe tomatoes are dredged in a cornmeal coating and fried, they're just perfect.<\/p> <\/div>
Why do you fry green tomatoes and not red?<\/strong> Green tomatoes are slightly unripe, so they can really hold up to being dredge in a breadcrumb coating and fried. They're firm enough and have a nice tangy flavor that is even more delicious after they've been cooked in the fry oil.<\/p> <\/div>
Are green tomatoes just unripe?<\/strong> Technically, yes. Green tomatoes are usually young tomatoes that have not ripened yet. They can vary in color and taste but they are usually firmer than regular red tomatoes and they have a nice, tangy, slightly tart flavor that can hold up to being coated and fried. Some heirloom tomatoes are green in color, but these are ripe and have a different flavor profile than the green tomatoes you'd usually use to fry.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
