Tomatillos (1 lb) — Fresh Mexican Green Fruit

Product description

Grown in Mexico and sold in a 16 oz (1 lb) packet, these tomatillos arrive with their papery husks intact. Each package contains an average of four to seven individual tomatillos, making it a compact option for single recipes or small households.

The fruits have a firm feel beneath the husk and a tart, slightly citrusy taste. They roast, grill, boil, or may be used raw; common preparations include salsas, tomatillo-based sauces, chutneys, and chilled soups.

Before using, rinse each tomatillo, remove the husk and trim the stem. They’re ready to be charred on the grill, simmered into a verde sauce, or blended raw for fresh applications. Store refrigerated and use within a few days for best texture and flavor.

Pros

  • Bright, tangy flavor
  • Versatile for salsas, sauces, grilling
  • Convenient 16 oz packaging

Cons

  • Ripeness can vary within the pack
  • Only a few fruit per package
  • Short refrigerated shelf life

VerdictThis 1 lb pack of tomatillos delivers bright, tangy flavor and flexible culinary uses—ideal for salsa verde, sauces, and grilled preparations. The small batch is convenient, but ripeness can vary between fruits. Good choice for short-term use when you need a compact supply for fresh sauces and condiments.

Reviews

  1. Honest feedback 4/5

    Used in pozole

    Good appearance and fresh enough for my pozole. Flavor was decent and they arrived in usable condition.

  2. Giftbearer 5/5

    Ideal for salsa verde

    Consistently firm and tasty. I’ve made homemade salsa verde with these multiple times and it turned out addictive.

  3. Biscuit 5/5

    Arrived firm and usable

    All the tomatillos were intact and fairly firm, ready to be used over the next few days. Would order again depending on local availability.

  4. 👻 5/5

    Made a tasty green sauce

    Whipped up a tomatillo sauce that was delicious. Next time I’ll blend in avocado for extra creaminess.

  5. Vero 5/5

    Versatile and flavorful

    Sweet-tart and affordable. Brush with oil and char whole on the grill, then crush in a mortar for a lively salsa. Also bright when added raw to cold soups or turned into chutney.

  6. Roxana 5/5

    Great for verde

    High quality fruit that made a very tasty salsa verde with little effort.

  7. Yoryina Creations 5/5

    Saved my dinner

    Fresh tomatillos delivered extremely quickly—arrived in under two hours and saved the recipe I was making.

  8. love 3/5

    Mixed quality batch

    Some tomatillos were fine but a few were overripe or soft. Overall a bit disappointing compared with previous buys.
