Tomatillo
Tomatillo is a small, husk‑encased fruit native to Mexico and widely used in Mexican and Central American cooking for bright, tangy salsas and stews. It is known for its firm texture and tart, slightly citrusy flavor that holds up well to roasting and simmering. Nutritionally, Tomatillo is low in calories and a good source of vitamin C, providing about 11.7mg per 100g, along with modest fiber and little fat. These qualities make it a refreshing, nutrient‑dense addition to salads, sauces and cooked dishes. From a health perspective, tomatillos are a very wholesome produce choice: they contribute vitamins and fiber with a favorable fat profile and quality plant protein for a fruit, making them a useful ingredient when you want bright flavor without many calories.
