These fruits are encased in a papery husk, which is removed before use. The fruits are typically green or purplish and have a slightly sticky texture. They are used in various cuisines, primarily in Mexican cooking. The tomatillo is essential for making salsa verde and other sauces. The plant is an annual, growing best in full sun and well-drained soil. The plants are quite prolific and produce an abundance of fruits throughout the growing season. Water regularly and allow the soil to dry between waterings. They do best in areas with a warm climate and need to be planted after the last frost.
