Purple Tomatillo (Physalis ixocarpa) Weight:0.5 OZ Yellow pear plants are desirablePurple tomatillos are a rare and beautiful variety. At maturity, they're small and round, like a golf ball, with a diameter of one or two inches. The Purple tomatillo, like all tomatillos, is encased in a papery husk that turns brown and splits open as the fruit ripens. Purple tomatillos have a tangy sweet taste, much sweeter than their green counterparts, with citrus like hints and sub acid flavors of plum and pear.
