Uncle came back from the country today and gave me a bag of tomatoes, but I saw that there are a few unripe tomatoes. Can I eat unripe tomatoes?

    The immature green tomatoes contain alkaloid glycosides (solanine), which are needle-shaped crystals. After eating, the mouth may feel bitter, and in severe cases, poisoning may occur. Therefore, it is best not to eat raw tomatoes.
