This trio of seed packets will grow the two most popular Tomatillo crops, Rio Grande Verde, Ground Cherry & Purple. The seed packets themselves are 3.5" wide, by 5" tall and come complete with a full colored illustration and detailed sowing instructions on the reverse side. Tomatillos are primarily harvested for their use in creating salsa verde, and are a staple in many Mexican dishes.
Appearance Tomatillos resemble small, green, purple or yellow tomatoes but are encased in a papery husk. When ripe, the fruit inside the husk turns from green to yellow or purple, depending on the variety, although they are most often used when green.
Culinary Use They are a key ingredient in Mexican cuisine, particularly in salsa verde. Tomatillos provide a tart, slightly citrusy flavor that adds depth to sauces, soups, and stews. They can be eaten raw but are often cooked to mellow their acidity.
Nutritional Profile Tomatillos are low in calories but rich in vitamins C and K, as well as antioxidants like quercetin and kaempferol. They also contain niacin, which is good for skin health.
Cultivation Growing tomatillos is similar to growing tomatoes. They require full sun, well-drained soil, and support for their sprawling vines. Each plant typically needs another tomatillo plant nearby for proper pollination, as they are not self-pollinating.
