About Tomatillos, raw
The tomatillo (Physalis philadelphica), also called the Mexican husk tomato, is a small, round fruit of the nightshade family wrapped in a thin, papery husk that splits open as the fruit matures. Though it resembles a green tomato, it is firmer and tarter, with a bright, citrusy, slightly herbal tang and a sticky skin that is rinsed off before cooking. Tomatillos are low in calories and provide vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and antioxidants.
They are the essential ingredient in Mexican salsa verde and green sauces, where their acidity cuts through rich dishes, and they are roasted, boiled, or charred to deepen their flavor before being blended for enchiladas, chilaquiles, tacos, and braises. They can also be eaten raw for a sharper bite. Choose firm fruit with tight, fresh-looking husks and bright green flesh, since the most tart and flavorful tomatillos are still green.
Store them with their husks on in the refrigerator, where they keep for a couple of weeks.
