Tomatillo

• Fruit Size: 2 inches
• Matures: 60 to 75 days
• Plant type: Indeterminate

Very easy to grow, this is not a tomato, but is a relative of tomatoes with a very tart, unique flavor that is the key ingredient in Salsa Verde. Tomatillo is a round, green fruit produced inside a papery husk, which also earns it the name husk tomato. The papery husk is removed before eating. The fruit is used while it is still a green color. If you open the husk and it has begun to turn yellow, it is actually past its prime. A popular Mexican and Southwestern ingredient for sauces and salads. Space transplants 24 to 36 inches apart.
