Grown on the farm, this Mexican/Central American heirloom is a staple in their local cuisine but a newer addition to North American plates. A very prolific plant, the tomatillo will produce a copious amount of small plum sized fruit that are delicious in chutney, salsas and cooked in meals like tofu or meat. The plant takes up alot of space so make sure you give it room or put it somewhere that will not shade out other plants around it.
We originally got these seeds from Brenda Goudreault from Huberdeau Québec and her Jardin Écologique. She is a Quebec seed saver who decided to close up her operations and shared a huge variety of seeds with a whole bunch of seed farmers here in Quebec. Thank you Brenda!
Indoors: Start 3-4 weeks before the last frost and transplant out after last frost has passed.
Harvest: Harvest when the husk around the fruit is dry and brown. This variety is more yellow and purple.
