Perfect Green Tomato
Not all green tomatoes are alike. When those shiny emerald orbs first begin to appear on the vines, they're not yet edible. The best-tasting green tomatoes are those that have reached full maturity--that is, the jellylike substance around the seeds has fully formed--and have just the faintest hint of a red blush about their flesh. Once picked, these mature green tomatoes can keep for weeks, slowly edging towards redness. If you do want to store them long-term, arrange them in a single layer in a cool (but not cold) place and check them frequently: one bad tomato can spoil the whole batch.
