Product Information

Purple Tomatillo is a uniquely colored tomatillo noted for its sweet, tart flavor.

The plant itself provides visual flair with its striking purple-veined leaves. The small tomatillos form inside papery husks that ripen from green to a deep, rich purple. This tomatillo variety will grow vigorous and highly productive plants. Tomatillos taste great grilled, diced for salsa, or used as a taco topping.
