Can you eat green pickled tomatoes if you are on Coumadin (warfarin)?
My husband is on Coumadin. Can he eat green pickled tomatoes? I think he can eat red tomatoes and I wonder what happens to red tomatoes to make them turn green and possibly affect his Coumadin.
The Health meets Food Team Says...
Green tomatoes are simply those who have not ripened. They are low in Vitamin K and should be safe for those who use Coumadin® (warfarin).
Thanks for writing.
