When buying seeds, you need to approach them carefully, study not only the information on the packaging, but also read reviews from those who have tried to grow these crops.
And, of course, you shouldn't buy seeds based only on the picture on the package. In this case, you can grow tomatoes that never turn red.
It's not a matter of marriage or genetic mutation. There are just varieties of green tomatoes, here they are.
"Green Zebra"
Waiting for this tomato to turn red is useless. It will remain green, with light green stripes. However, the taste of the fruit is rich, sweetish with a slight spicy aftertaste. The bushes bear fruit just fine.
"Siberian Malachite"
The fruits can be green or greenish-yellow striped. They are as green inside as they are outside, but they taste like the same medium-sugared tomato. The skin is dense, and therefore ideal for canning. The yield is high.
"The Green Secret of Mr. Grab (Maggots)"
Despite their acidic color, these are very sweet tomatoes with thin skins.
"Green Tiger"
A cherry-shaped tomato with dark green stripes. The fruits grow on clusters and are very sweet in taste.
"Green grapes"
It produces small, round fruits that are golden yellow when ripe. They are very sweet in taste and lack acidity.
