You may be familiar with green tomatillos, this is the purple version. Very hard to find these days. A wonderful surprise awaits inside the papery husk! The Tomatillo is mostly used in salsa and picante dishes. Harvest once the outer husk begins to turn brown. This variety of tomatillo can bear 2-4 oz. fruits. Tomatillos bear prolifically and are known for being tolerant of extreme conditions from dry farming to even cool nights. Tomatillos grow encased in a papery shell very similar looking to a Chinese Lantern (flower). The papery shell turns from green to brown and splits when they are ready. At this point they may feel sticky but are ready in the green stage for salsa. If you leave them they will turn to a yellow.
