Fresh Tomatillos

Tomatillos are small, green fruits related to the tomato and husk tomato. They grow inside a papery husk and have a tart, citrus-like flavor. They are typically used fresh or cooked in various dishes.

Tomatillos are often used to add a bright, tangy flavor to salsas, sauces, and marinades. Their natural acidity helps to balance sweetness and richness in food products. They are commonly found in Mexican and Latin American cuisine.

Tomatillos are a source of vitamins and fiber. The FDA considers tomatillos to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for consumption. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for tomatillos are not widely publicized.
