The flavour is bright, fresh and pleasantly tangy, with the characteristic sharpness that makes tomatillos essential to salsa verde and many traditional Mexican sauces, soups and stews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to Mexico and Central America, tomatillos have been cultivated since pre-Columbian times and were an important food crop of the Aztecs. Despite their resemblance to green tomatoes, they belong to the \u003cem\u003ePhysalis\u003c\/em\u003e genus and are more closely related to cape gooseberries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are vigorous, spreading low and wide and can reach around 2 m across. Fruit is ready when it has filled the husk, which often begins to split, and may remain green when fully ripe. A short-lived perennial in warm, frost-free climates, it is generally grown as an annual elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 1,200 seeds per gram. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 60 seeds per packet.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: March–September\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: August–February\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: September–January\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: October–December, after frost risk has passed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 5 mm deep into seed-raising mix and transplant once seedlings are established and conditions are warm.
