TOMATILLO PEELED 35LB

Tomatillos, commonly know as husk tomatoes, are about two inches in size with a parchment like outer skin. The husk encloses the tomatillo, and as the husk starts to dry it splits open and changes from green to light brown as the fruit ripens. Tomatillos are generally harvested before the fruits reach full maturity, and they have a very tart flavor, much different than the tomato. Not only do they have a higher concentration of minerals than tomatoes, they are also are rich in vitamins A, C, K, and dietary fiber. Tomatillos can be used in similar ways to regular tomatoes, they do however have more a tart flavor and contain less sugar. This tartness makes them a great addition to salsas or even jams. After removing the husk, make sure to wash thoroughly to remove the sappy substance underneath. Tomatillos with their husk still attached can last for around three weeks in the refrigerator. After removing the husk, they can last up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
