Botanical namePhysalis philadelphica
The tomatillo is a plant native to Mexico, a cousin of the tomato, that produces round, green (or sometimes purple) fruits wrapped in a thin, papery lantern. Its tangy, fresh, and lemony flavor is perfect for salsas verdes, sauces, Tex-Mex dishes, or oven-roasted dishes. Highly productive, it grows easily in the ground or in large containers. Note: for good pollination, at least two plants should be planted. Exotic, easy, and delicious—a must-have for curious vegetable gardeners
