About
Fried Green Tomatoes are a Southern classic— just like the movie! While the dish has grown in popularity as Southern food becomes more common across the country, some still may be unfamiliar with green tomatoes. For those unfamiliar, they tend to have a firmer texture and tarter taste than their red counterparts, making them ideal for frying as they won’t fall apart as easily. Aunt Bea's Fried Green Tomatoes has that excellent mix of savory and bright flavors, with a wonderful crispiness. Serve Aunt Bea's Fried Green Tomatoes as an appetizer with ranch dressing for dipping.
