Tomatillo Archives - Melbourne Hot Sauce

Tomatillos are small bright green fruits encased in a papery husk, resembling a small green tomato. They are a member of the nightshade family, commonly used in Latin American cuisine, particularly Mexican and Central American dishes. They have a distinct tart, slightly sweet flavor, often used in salsa verde, a popular sauce in Mexican cooking.
