Green tomatoes contain toxic compounds, but they are generally safe to eat in small quantities:

• Solanine: A natural poison found in all solanaceous crops, like potatoes. Solanine poisoning can cause stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting, drowsiness, and lethargy. A lethal dose is around 0.014 ounces.
  
  
  
• Tomatine: Another toxic compound found in green tomatoes.
  
  
  
• Atropine: Another compound found in green tomatoes.

I've had solanine poisoning before, it hurts like hell even if you take less than 0.014 ounces
