Mexican strain Tomatillo
This is the seed to have if you want to
do Salsa Verde. Green tomatoes don't work well as they tend to make a
muddy colored salsa. These are the husk tomatoes that are used. They
are always green or yellow-green. (there is a purple variety too)
Pick when the husk is paper brown and the fruit is breaking out of the
husk. When the fruit is more yellow, it has a plum - like flavor, when
more green, it has a lemony flavor. Mexicans prefer the more green for
salsa verde as they are firmer and have a bit of a bite. The
"over-ripe" yellow fruit is good for eatting out of hand or in a
compote or jam as it is sweeter. Also makes a good sauce for over fish
because of the lemon flavor. Similar to ground cherries but much
larger. Semi wild. I have 4 varieties of tomatillos. This one is the
earliest, but the smallest of my varieties. |
