Tomatillo
  • Primary ingredient in Latin American green sauce
    (salsa verde), means "little tomato" in Spanish

    small containers. With a distinctly tart, almost
    lemony flavor, tomatillos enhance a broad range
    of dishes, from guacamole and appetizers to stews
    and steaks.
  • The fruit of the tomatillo grows within a soft,
    parchment-like husk that is sometimes forced open
    as it approaches mature size, usually between 1"
    to 2" in diameter.
  • Tomatillos are almost always harvested and used
    while still green. A yellowish or sometimes
    purplish blush on the fruit itself the husk can
    be pale green to light brown indicates a
    ripeness that makes them less desirable for
    common uses.
  • Plants generally do not need to be staked
