The Mexican husk tomato, sometimes called jamberry but more commonly called tomatillo, its fruit grows within a natural papery lantern-like husk. Once ripe, the husk splits open and the fruit of your labor is ready to use. The plant produces good yields of large green tomatillos. Used in salsas and other Mexican dishes. They are best harvested when the husks turn from green to brown as they ripen and split open. They are ready to harvest. They have been cultivated in Central and South America for centuries and are related to ground cherries. Tomatillo and related plants are now found elsewhere in America except in the northern states with the highest diversity.
