The origin is believed to be in Mexico and Central America. Used by the Mayan and Aztecs, it is still cultivated throughout the Central Americas. They are also cultivated in the United States, India, Australia and South Africa. It is a close relative of the tomato and is used and grown like tomatoes. The flowers are yellow and the ~2.5cm diameter fruit develops in a green-purple bladder like calyx resembling a Chinese lantern.

It can be eaten out of hand when ripe and sweet. It is used in salsa, chili sauces, stews, soups and can be fried, baked or used in purees. The calyx that wraps around it is toxic. It can be stored a long time if picked unripe with the calyx intact. When fully ripe the calyx turns brown and splits open. The ripe fruit can be green, yellow or purple depending on the variety.

It gets to be 0.9 m -1.8 m (3 ft - 6 ft) tall and will need support.

برداشت محصول و بذر تولید

The unripe green Tomatillo fruit can be harvested for use in sauces and salsa. The flavor improves over a 3-4 week period after it has been picked. The ripe Tomatillo fruit that will mature a few weeks later, can be harvested for a sweeter fruit and for seeds. The seeds are easy to save. The ripe fruits should be mashed in water. Water should be added and the mixture stirred. The viable seeds will sink to the bottom and the immature seeds will float. Collect the good seeds and let dry on a ceramic or glass plate. They will remain viable for years if stored in a cool, dry place.
