Tomatillosare generally cooked, which softens up their skin and improves their
flavor. They are best known for their saucing abilities and are the main ingredient
in green sauces and salsa verde."They provide a fullness of body to a sauce that
tomatoes don't," said Elizabeth Pivonka, president and CEO of the Produce for
Better Health Foundation in Wilmington, Del. Schueller adds that "you can taste
the tomato flavor, but it's tarter."Besides an interesting flavor, tomatillos will give
your diet a small boost of vitamin C.
