Tomatillo Toma Verde World Kitchen Seeds
Approx 100 Seeds
Toma Verde is a traditional Mexican tomatillo variety, prized for its bright green fruits with a sweet, tangy flavour. Each fruit develops inside a papery husk, which is removed before eating. An essential ingredient in authentic salsas and many Central American dishes, tomatillos are also delicious roasted, grilled, or added to soups and stews.
How to Grow
Sow seeds 6 mm deep in pots or trays of seed-raising mix. Place in a sunny but sheltered position, firm down gently, and keep moist. Seedlings appear in 7–21 days. Transplant into the garden when large enough to handle, spacing plants 60 cm apart in rows 90 cm apart. Provide support as plants grow for best yields.
When to Plant
Spring to summer, after the danger of frost has passed.
Soil Type
Well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
Harvest
Fruits are ready in 12–14 weeks. Harvest when the husks turn papery and split open, revealing firm green fruit.
