Tomatillos - "Mexican Husk Tomatoes"<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Tomatillos are an odd plant. First off, they are called “Mexican Husk Tomatoes”, although they aren’t tomatoes. The fruit itself it surronded with a papery husk, which splits when the fruit is ready to eat. It has been described as citrus like, although I personally don’t like the taste raw.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is one very good reason to grow this plant: They are exceptionally blight resistant. I had hundreds of tomato plants affected by the late blight this year, and these Tomatillos seem completely unaffected.\u00a0 I will grow them again next year, as some members of my family members enjoy the\u00a0 peculiar flavor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s a recipe suggested by a friend. Sounds Yummy !\u00a0<\/p>\n
