Tomatillo: Verde

No salsa is complete without the Verde Tomatillo!  This variety of tomatillo bear 2-4 oz. fruits. Tomatillos normally produce about 1 pound of fruit per plant. The main difference between regular salsa and salsa verde is that tomatillos are used instead of red tomatoes. Due to the tomatillos, salsa verde has a tangy, zesty flavor with the underlying taste of hearty roasted green chiles and onions. Tomatillos bear prolifically and are known for being tolerant of extreme conditions. Tomatillos grow encased in a papery shell that turns from green to brown and splits when they are ready.
