Tomatillo - Verde Seeds

Verde is an early variety with tart flavor when young, becoming sweeter as it ripens. Harvest in 85 days. Tomatillo Verde produces large juicy fruits that weigh 3-4 oz. Determinate plants grow 24" tall. Grow two plants to ensure fruit set because two or more tomatillo plants are required for the plants to blossom. 

Plant seeds 1/4" deep then thin to 24" apart. It is best to start seeds indoors.

Medium to large size fruits are ready to harvest when husks split and fruit color changes from a yellow green to medium green. Tomatillos are an ingredient often present in Mexican dishes, and the fruit is grown similarly to a tomato. Perfect for Salsa Verde or as a special addition to any Mexican dish.

Tomatillos like company: You do want to have at least two or three tomatillo plants growing near each other for best pollination, as just one tomatillo plant will not likely produce very much fruit.

Tomatillos differ 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 »
