    Tomatillo Facts

    Tomatillo is the member of Solanaceae or nightshade family which also includes tomato, ground-cherry, potato, eggplant and chili peppers. It is a small, green Mexican fruit enclosed in a husk. The fruit look like a small unripe tomato and is usually green or yellow. They’re about the size of a large walnut or a small lemon. Husks are not for human consumption and are supposed to be removed before consuming these green veggies. They have a faintly tart, lemon-like essence, which is tastier when chosen green than if the fruit is allowed to darken to yellow, red, or even purple.
