RUDBECKIA HIRTA Botanical name: Physalis
philadelphica. A relative of the tomato and member of the nightshade (Solanaceae)
family tomatillos provide that tart flavor in a host of Mexican green sauces. In
Mexico the fruit is called tomates verdes, tomates de cascara as well as
fresadillas.
The fruits average about 1 -2" wide and have a papery outer skin. The tomatillo
is actually used when it is still green. If you see the photo below one of the
tomatillos is just turning a light yellow and indicates that is ripe and past
its prime for most uses. Tomatillos have a very tart flavor, not at all like a
tomato.
Price: $2.50/pkt
