Tomatillo Plant - Husk Tomato - 2.5" Pot

100 days - The unique flavor of this fruit makes a tasty 'Salsa Verde' or green salsa. It grows successfully in a wide range of climates. This dependable, prolific variety produces larger sized fruit than some types, up to 2 diameter, and its taste is somewhat sweeter and more mellow than other varieties. Tomatillo is great for harvesting immature and slightly green to make salsa. Then, when ripe, it turns from pale green to golden and the flavor is sweeter. It s still luscious in tart-sweet salsas, but also wonderful in pies, jams, chutneys or stews. 'Toma Verde' is heavenly skewered, brushed with olive oil and grilled, as an accompaniment to meat or chicken.
