About Tomatillo
Tomatillos, small, round fruits encased in papery husks, are a staple of Mexican cuisine. Often referred to as "Mexican husk tomatoes," they boast a tangy, slightly tart flavor that adds depth to salsas, sauces, and soups. Rich in vitamins C and K, tomatillos also provide potassium and manganese, which support heart health and bone strength. They are a low-calorie, fat-free food, making them a nutritious addition to balanced diets. Their fiber content aids digestion and promotes a healthy gut. Additionally, tomatillos contain antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are beneficial for eye health. However, like other nightshades, tomatillos should be consumed in moderation by individuals sensitive to solanine. Their vibrant green hue and versatile flavor profile make tomatillos a celebrated ingredient for those seeking bold, healthy choices in their meals.
