Tomatillo 'Grande Rio Verde'

Grande Rio Verde tomatillo produces lots of extra-large, apple-green fruits. The fruit is ripe when it fills out the husk. At this stage, the flavor is bright and lemony. It's not good when overripe. The vigorous plants grow to 4' tall with an open habit. They are very productive.

This Mexican heirloom is the traditional tomatillo for making roasted salsa verde.
