Product Description

Tomatillo Purple is an organically grown tomatillo variety. It originates from Mexico and Central America. Unlike the name suggests, it's no tomato variety, but it's closely related to the Cape gooseberry. The fruits of the tomatillo are surrounded by a thin Chinese lantern-shaped membrane. This membrane starts out green and turns brown,almost transparant when the fruits are ripe. These tomatillos can get up to about 5 cm in size. The flavour of tomatillo purple is a combination of sour and sweet.

Tomatillos can be used in salads, salsas and in exotic fruit desserts. You can also make fruit-compote with them. Tomatillos are used together with chilis to make Salsa Verde. You can harvest from August on, when the husks are starting to become translucent or tear open and the berries are starting to colour. Ripe fruits can fall of the plants. This plant needs support. Non hardy annual. Height: 120 - 150 cm.
