The flesh of a tomatillo is somewhat crisp and offers a delightful blend of citrusy notes, making it a versatile ingredient in various culinary applications. One of the most popular uses for tomatillos is in the preparation of Salsa Verde, a vibrant green salsa that brings a refreshing tang to dishes. The natural acidity and crisp texture of tomatillos make them an excellent base for this salsa, which can complement everything from tacos to grilled meats.

Tomatillos are intriguing plants that are often mistaken for tomatoes, but they are, in fact, a distinct species altogether. Unlike true tomatoes, tomatillos produce fruit that develops inside a papery husk, which provides a unique layer of protection as the fruit matures. As they reach maturity, the tomatillos will begin to break through and eventually shed their husks, signaling that they are ready for harvest.

In addition to their culinary uses, tomatillos are also relatively easy to grow in home gardens. They thrive in warm climates and require similar care to that of tomatoes, including adequate sunlight and well-drained soil. With their unique appearance and distinctive flavor, tomatillos are a wonderful addition to any garden and kitchen, offering a taste of something different and delightful.

How to save seeds

Tomatillo will not cross with tomatoes or peppers, but will cross with other varieties of tomatillo. Flowers need to be exposed to other flowers for fertilization. Five plants are generally the rule. Seed is ready when fruit bust through husk. Dry method is fine.
