Pickled green tomatoes are made form unripe tomatoes that woudl become red
if left on the plant. They are often make late in the season if frost is
expected so the tomatoes won't have time to ripen, as they have not yet
begun to lighten in color, preceedign the reddening process. If still
truely green even thougth full grown, they will not ripen off the plant so
get turened into the pickles for winter use.
