Can you find tomatillos? That texture would more closely resemble the texture and taste of green tomatoes than red tomatoes would.

Of course you can use them, but that doesn't mean you will like the end result. There a huge difference in the flavor of green tomatoes and red tomatoes. As a side note, I have never seen tomatoes sold as "green tomatoes" in the grocery store. I've seen plenty of pinkish tomatoes being sold as ripe tomatoes, but I would not use them in a green tomato recipe. To be honest, and to share a secret, it's for the green tomatoes that we plant tomatoes in our yard.
I've never seen green tomatoes at the grocers either.
I agree, I just can't see subbing red toms, particularily in a crisp-style relish recipe.
You need to move here. Our Kroger store here regularly has green tomatoes, even in the colder months. Pretty nice since occasionally I get a craving for them when no one has any tomato plants I can rob. Oh, I mean that I can pick off my own plants.

hi, im a newbie here so green toms are really red ones that are not ripe yet, right?? I have seen recipes that call for them, but bc i can't find them here i haven't bothered to try them. I grow toms every year in my garden. i haven't seen green tomatoes being sold anywhere here (uk)
Hi and welcome to DC
Usually green tomatoes are unripe red tomatoes, but there are some heirloom varieties that are green, or green and another color, when they're ripe.
I'm guessing it's difficult to sell unripe green tomatoes in the grocery store because they do ripen after they're picked and it would be confusing to see half-ripe tomatoes in the store.
Recipes for green tomatoes were developed to use up unripe tomatoes from home gardens and farms.
Here is a link with some of the green tomato varieties. Cherokee or Zebra striped are two of the more common ones.Hi and welcome to DC
