Green tomato leftovers from fried green tomatoes?

[jsheffield]

Hello,

I made a mess of FGTs for my wife and me last night and have some leftover green tomato trimmings (I don't use either end, just slices out of the middles) and was wondering if they'd be ok as a part of the meal for my omnivorous tortoises.

Thoughts?

I don't see any problem with it. My tortoises were always fed loads and loads of red tomatoes. I doubt that a green one would be harmful.

I don't see why not.
One of the things I grow in my yard are cherry tomatoes and I often pick them while they're still green or yellow and feed them to my RF

So did you all watch the movie while you scarfed them down?

A million years ago I watched the movie with a girlfriend before going to visit the Whistlestop Cafe in Juliette, GA, and have spent the intervening 30 years working on perfecting my recipe for them...

If in doubt try looking up the Tortoise Table.

I heard that the leaves are not to be fed.

That's what I thought but my two love tomatoes themselves.

Living so far North, we grow a lot of green tomatoes that might never redden, so we do FGTs every summer... they're a great flavor treat that my whole family looks forward to... tangy and tart and salty and hot and crunchy.

Sounds lovely. Can tortoises eat them?

I gave my omnivorous torts the green tomato trimmings, and like magic, they disappeared.
