Tomatillos
Tomatillos are a small, round fruit native to Mexico and Central America. It is a member of the nightshade family, related to tomatoes, but has a unique tart, citrusy flavor. Tomatillos are covered in a papery husk that must be removed before eating or cooking, they are a key ingredient in many Mexican dishes.
Their tangy taste adds brightness to sauces and stews. They can be eaten raw, roasted, boiled, or blended into salsas, soups, and marinades. Unlike tomatoes, tomatillos do not become sweet as they ripen; instead, they maintain their distinctive tartness, making them a versatile addition to both savory and spicy dishes.
