TOMATE VERDE - MEXICAN TOMATO
Unlike the red tomato, which was taken to Europe from Mèxico by the Spaniards and then spread world-wide; tomatillo (Physalis Ixocarpa) has had more of a regional history, being grown mostly in Mèxico and Central America.
Tomatillo fruit, which grows inside a thin husk (always removed), is a staple in Mexican Cuisine - take the traditional salsa verde (in both the raw and the cooked versions), where tomatillo's peculiar sweet and sour flavour is best appreciated.
