Toma Verde Tomatillo, also known as the Mexican husk tomato, is a unique and flavorful member of the nightshade family, prized for its tartness and versatility in Mexican cuisine. These small, green fruits are encased in a papery husk, giving them a distinctive appearance and protecting them as they mature.

When planting Toma Verde Tomatillo, choose a sunny location with well-drained soil that has been enriched with compost or organic matter. These plants thrive in warm climates and require consistent moisture throughout the growing season. Plant seeds or transplants after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them approximately 2 to 3 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.

Toma Verde Tomatillos typically reach maturity within 70 to 80 days after transplanting. As the fruits grow, they will fill out the papery husk and develop a vibrant green color. Harvest the tomatillos when they have reached their full size and the husks have started to split or turn brown. Simply peel back the husk to reveal the firm, green fruit underneath. In Mexican cuisine, Toma Verde Tomatillos are prized for their tangy flavor and are commonly used to make salsa verde, a classic green sauce that complements a variety of dishes. They can also be roasted, grilled, or used raw in salads and salsas to add a refreshing acidity and depth of flavor. In summary, Toma Verde Tomatillo is a versatile and flavorful addition to any garden, offering both ornamental beauty and delicious fruit that can be enjoyed in a multitude of culinary creations. With proper planting and care, these plants will produce a bountiful harvest of tangy green tomatillos for culinary exploration.
