About This

• Appearance: Tomatillos resemble small, green, purple or yellow tomatoes but are encased in a papery husk. When ripe, the fruit inside the husk turns from green to yellow or purple, depending on the variety, although they are most often used when green.
• Culinary Use: They are a key ingredient in Mexican cuisine, particularly in salsa verde. Tomatillos provide a tart, slightly citrusy flavor that adds depth to sauces, soups, and stews. They can be eaten raw but are often cooked to mellow their acidity.
• Nutritional Profile: Tomatillos are low in calories but rich in vitamins C and K, as well as antioxidants like quercetin and kaempferol. They also contain niacin, which is good for skin health.
• Cultivation: Growing tomatillos is similar to growing tomatoes. They require full sun, well-drained soil, and support for their sprawling vines. Each plant typically needs another tomatillo plant nearby for proper pollination, as they are not self-pollinating.
• Quality: All Tomatillo seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
• Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.
• Packets: Each seed packet displays an artful illustration of the variety to be grown, as well as detailed seed sowing information on the reverse side. They measure 3.25" wide by 4.50" tall.
