Description
Its taste is often described as mild, but slightly sour, yet very fresh and pleasant - a green tomato should taste exactly like that. No fear of toxic solanine in this green tomato, a ripe Green Zebra contains hardly any. All things considered, green tomatoes are in fact among the fruitiest tomatoes found in Europe. Although they are more common in the south, the climate further north is just as suitable.
