Do we know if unripened fruit and vedge carry less carbs per 100 grams than their ripened counterparts? At first thought one might not be happy with the idea of eating unripened produce.
I have eaten fried green tomatoes and green papaya. The former is quite commonly eaten in the Deep South in the USA where I first ate some in a local cafe.
The green papaya is often used chopped up as part of salad. As they are both unripened produce then they have differing nutrients and maybe less carbs than their ripened counterparts.
My wife has eaten a range of unripened fruits and vegetables including unripened mango which she eats with salt.
I must say, fried green tomatoes are delicious and there seems to be a keto version.
