Tomatillos, also known as Mexican husk tomatoes, are small, round fruits encased in a papery husk. They offer a tart, slightly acidic, and citrusy flavor that brightens up many dishes. The flesh is firm and dense, with a somewhat sticky texture. These vibrant green or sometimes purple fruits add a unique tang to salsas, sauces, and stews. Look for firm, unblemished tomatillos with dry, intact husks for the best flavor and quality. Tomatillos are a staple in authentic Mexican cuisine and are a versatile ingredient for adding zest to your cooking. They are great for making green salsa, sauces for enchiladas, and even in soups and stews.

Tomatillos should be stored unhusked in a paper bag in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and cause them to spoil faster. You can also freeze tomatillos for longer storage. To freeze, remove the husks, wash and dry the tomatillos, then freeze them whole or chopped on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. Frozen tomatillos are best used in cooked dishes.
