Tomatillo

Tomatillo

(Physalis ixocarpa) Also called “husk tomato,” for the paper-like calyx or husk that encloses each fruit. They are grown about like tomatoes, except that they are seldom staked; they do tend to be a bit faster from seed than most tomatoes, and a little more tolerant to cold weather. Tomatillos are used in fresh salsas, and cooked in any number of sauces, including Mexican-style chili verde.

Amarylla Tomatillo

60 days. A Polish twist on an old Mexican staple vegetable! Immature fruit is green, morphing to pretty yellow as it ripens and begin to split their protective husks. The fruit is firm, juicy and very sweet; perfect for jams, jellies and don’t forget the salsa! We also love these in the garden for fresh snacking and salads. Bred to thrive in the cooler summer conditions of inland eastern Europe.

70 days. A flavorful tomatillo that is 1 inch in diameter, being green with varying degrees of purple on many fruit. Very popular in Guatemalan cuisine; we collected this heirloom at Coban, Guatemala, a beautiful mountain town.

85 days. This special selection of Tomatillo yields large, apple-green fruit. The medium-sized, determinate plants need no staking. The globe shaped fruit reaches 3-4 ounces, very large for a tomatillo, and the yields are very high. Recommended for fresh market.

Here’s another variety collected by Jere Gettle on his 2005 trip to Central America, and preserved in our seed bank until grown out in 2013! This is a true tomatillo, having the typical husk, but the fruit is smaller, about the diameter of a dime. Fruit ripens to green or purple and are posessed of an unusual savory taste—somewhat different from other tomatillos we sell.

(Physalis ixocarpa) 70 days. Beautiful purple fruit, large size. Many are a bright violet color throughout their flesh. Much sweeter than the green types, it can be eaten right off the plant. Turns purple when ripe; rare!
