I grew tomatillos for the first time this year. I had never tasted a tomatillo but both of my grown sons said I had to try them. We're not big salsa eaters so I have been trying different ways to use them. When they start to ripen to a yellow stage they taste a little sweet and I thought that they would be good in pie. I have a lot of raspberries in the freezer so I tried half raspberries and half tomatillos in a double crust pie. I added a cup of sugar, a teaspoon of cinnamon and a little nutmeg. It also needed extra thickener because of the water content. The pies were over the top good and were a big hit at our local pie social. Now I'm freezing "9 inch pie amounts" of tomatillos so I can make this pie in the off season.

The first time I ever saw a tomatillo was growing wild in the Mojave desert while camping. At the time I did not know what it was. 40 years later I’m growing them in my Southwestern Colorado garden for the first time and they are abundant and beautiful. Looking forward to the next video for new ideas to enjoy my harvest.
I come from England and I had never heard of them until I was bought seeds for Christmas. They have been amazing to grow and I can't wait to cook with them. Your video was really interesting too.

It's my 2nd year with Tomatillos. Last year I had about 5 plants for testing purpose, and I realized that those are the "ultimate" gardening plants, but Winter made them all gone (I'm living in Germany) . So this year, I have about 40 plants to check a lot recipes... In Germany they are almost unknown btw. This "Husk" is some magic by nature, as it protects the fruit from everything. Heat, dryness, insects, flies... If you're a gardener, you might like the fact that they protect the fruits themselves. Also, I like the taste of raw Tomatillos. In hot days they taste like some refreshing lemonade. Salsa Verde is a real add on to the kitchen. Fun Fact: Most People I know, tell about the "Potato" taste of them. And it really is. They mostly taste like sour Potatos, and they smell like Potatos when cooking. People who have "intolerance" or "allergy" for Lemon/Lime fruits might be happy to have the "lime type taste" .

Tomatillos have been easy to grow in my garden. I am a big fan of salsa verde, so growing tomatillos and having them readily available without going to the store works for me. I subscribed to the video because it was very clear and informative ..... excellent job! Looking forward to more videos.

Just to echo any Brits replying to your question.... no, they are not easy to find at all over in the UK (I'm living in Newport, Wales but I come from Southern England). The only time i've seen them is tinned in the supermarkets and even then it's rare. I've wanted to grow them for years as I got interested in cooking (Mexican/Guatamalan, among others) about 20yrs ago and knew these 2 cuisines relyed heavily on them. The good news is that seeds are now readily available online from UK companies and our UK climate is perfectly fine for them; the southern half anyway... not sure about Scotland as the season is shorter. I grow about half a dozen plants each year for the last few years in large containers in my back yard and get around 20 to 40 fruits each week from end of June until around now-ish... my plants are starting to show signs of finishing and the harvests the last fortnight have been quite sparse. We make fritters and salsa with them weekly and I ferment and pickle whatever's left each fortnight or so. Tip... any tomatillos that are a bit under-par I save seeds from for next year. Thanks for the video... helps to educate people who may not be familiar with these tasty fruits.

Thank you and absolutely there is a way around it. I would advise cooking the tomatillos in a way you prefer - baking, simmering, or sautéing - then puréing them in a food processor, blender, or even a food mill. You can then add chopped up onions, cilantro, and peppers - along with a generous squeeze of lime or lemon juice, along with salt and pepper to taste. That should make a delicious tomatillo salsa. Cheers!

Great question! If it’s bright green it should be good to go. Just remember that tomatillos will be firmer and more tart than a tomato - that’s totally normal. Enjoy!
They are vegetables AND fruits. "Vegetable" is not a scientific word, it's only a culinary word. The word "fruit" has both a scientific AND culinary definition that don't always overlap. Apples are fruits both from a culinary AND a biological view, tomatoes are only fruits from a biological view not from a culinary view. So to say that tomatoes aren't vegetables is wrong, they definitely are. That they also are called fruits from biological view doesn't matter, at all, because the biological meaning of "fruit" is different from the nutritional definition. Fruit from a culinary perspective are very sweet and are eaten as a dessert. Fruits CAN be served with the main dish also, like apple sauce with pork, for example. The best example of a fruit that is a vegetable culinary, is the avocado. Avocados have very little sugar and sweetnes, despite being fruits in a biological sense, and are therefore vegetables.
