A tomatillo is a small, tart, husk-covered fruit from the Physalis philadelphica plant, widely used in Mexican cooking—especially in salsa verde. It looks like a green tomato wrapped in a papery lantern-like husk, but it’s not a tomato and isn’t interchangeable with one.
- A member of the nightshade family, related to tomatoes and peppers.
- Native to Mexico and Central America.
- Firm, dense flesh with a naturally high acidity (around pH 3.8), which helps sauces stay bright even after long cooking.
Tomatillos are known for their tangy, citrusy, slightly sour flavour.
Common tasting notes include:
- Lemon or lime–like acidity
- Green apple or unripe tomato tartness
- A hint of green pepper
- When raw: crisp, bright, and sharply tart
- When cooked: mellower, sweeter, and more rounded in flavour
