Tomatillos

Storage: If you are not going to use them immediately, leave the husks intact, wrapped around the fruit like little paper bags. Either store on the counter or in the refrigerator. They should never be stored in air-tight containers. They will keep well for several weeks to a month. They may also be frozen whole or sliced.

Preparation: Remove the husks before using as the husks are inedible. Tomatillos are very easy to cook with because they don't need to be peeled or seeded. Their texture is firm when raw, but soften when cooked. Rinse before using as the tomatillo is covered by a sticky substance. Do not peel the green skin.

Taste: The heartiness of a tomato with the citrus zing of a lime

Nutritional Benefits: Tomatillos are loaded with potassium to ensure proper electrical and cellular functioning of the body.
