Tomatillos

Question

This is my first time trying to grow tomatillos. My first one that I had fell on the ground. It was firm on the inside, but the outer layer was completely dry (like the ones I see in stores). Will the outer layer continue to dry? Is it ok to eat?

Answer 2

Hi! As long as the fruit is undamaged, I have used the ones that fall on the ground and they have been just fine. They can be a little messier cleanup though, as the surface of the fruit is so sticky.
