Tomatillos are essential for authentic Mexican cuisine and beyond. They require full sun and grow inside husks that balloon as the fruit matures, becoming papery and brown when the tomatillos are ripe for harvest. They are perfect for salsas, sauces, and stews, adding a fresh, zesty flavor that enhances many dishes.
