Physalis ixocarpa. Not only delicious but attractive, too. The purple fruits are much sweeter than some of the green types and rich in beneficial antioxidants. Wait one week after fruit drops off the plant for sweetest taste and deepest purple colour. However, they are still tasty right off the plant!
Tomatillos grow best in conditions similar to tomatoes but will handle a lot more heat. Grow two or more plants to ensure good pollination.
If you are overloaded with tomatillos you can remove the husks and place in zippered plastic bags. Stored in the fridge, they will last several weeks. Great for salsas.
