  Tomatillos
The area from southern Texas to Guatemala is home both to the wild forms of the TOMATILLO and the present-day cultivated forms. These tomato-like relatives of the Cape gooseberry are thin-skinned and encased in a papery husk. When ripe, the fruit may vary in color from green to yellow, or purple. The flesh is pale yellow, crisp or soft; acid, subacid, or sweet; and contains many tiny seeds. Fresh tomatillos have to be cooked for a few minutes to bring out the flavor properly.
