Tomatillos differs from green tomatoes as they are usually juicier and not as firm. Though commonly used in sauces and salsa, tomatillos can be used in appetizers, desserts and jams as well. Tomatillos also are known as a husk tomato, due to the papery husk covering the fruit. Make sure to try this amazing Tomatillo Salsa Recipe »

The Tomatillo is a staple in Mexican cuisine. Its green color and tart flavor are its most distinguishing features. A vibrant and zesty blend of tomatillos and chiles combined with a hint of cilantro give our Tomatillo Verde Sauce its complex flavor and medium heat.

I like to know If cant plant the tomatillo seed on winter time?
We have found that tomatillo seeds overwinter nicely and will sprout when the weather warms up in the spring, so sure, you could sow the seeds in the fall. In fact, we have lots of volunteer tomatillo seedlings every spring where tomatillos had fallen in the fall and left for 'reseeding' some plants for the following year. The seedlings seem to be slightly frost hardy as they sprout and do well even if we have some cold spells in late spring.
You can also grow tomatillos as perennials in zones 10 and 11, so if you're in a climate that has warm weather year-round, you can grow them year-round!
I've been growing your tomato and pepper seeds for years to make salsas, and I'm excited that you added tomatillos, which are great for making green salsa! I also like that these are organic seeds, thanks for the fast shipping! I'll be starting the seeds this spring, can't wait for the harvest!
