About Tomatillos, raw
Tomatillos look like small green tomatoes wrapped in a papery husk, but they are a different species entirely, closer kin to gooseberries than tomatoes. The flavor is tart and slightly citrusy raw, mellowing and sweetening when roasted or simmered into salsa verde. The fat content is notable compared to other raw vegetables - a mild plant oil component - while carbs are moderate and fiber decent. The husk should be removed and the sticky surface rinsed before cooking. Essential in Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking, they are increasingly available fresh in American supermarkets year-round.
