Southern Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried green tomatoes are a Southern staple born from practicality — using up unripe tomatoes before the first frost destroyed the crop. Though often associated with the Deep South, food historians note the dish likely has Midwestern Jewish and Southern roots that merged over the 20th century, gaining nationwide fame after the 1991 film of the same name.

Crispy, tangy, and unmistakably Southern

Firm, tart green tomatoes are coated in a seasoned cornmeal crust and fried until golden and crunchy on the outside, tender within.
