I love these raw, in salads and salsas. #PurpleTomatillo #Organic #Homegrown #Purple #Tomatillo

@thefarrmers That is one of my favorite fun things to grow. Can’t go wrong with tomatillos. Everything from raw, salsa verde, soup and I even made a pie out of them. Also lacto fermented some for pickled. They make excellent wine also. The seeds are so easy to save for next years also. They just fall out clean if you sliced them kind of thick and stir in a glass of water. Good luck. Glad to see someone else who likes them. Tom

Thanks, Tom! I've never pickled them, but I will try that soon. Growing up, all I ever had was green, I had never tried purple until this year and now I can't stop eating "purple salads". :)
