The Grande Rio Verde Tomatillo is a variety known for its large, flavorful fruits which are typically used in culinary applications like salsa verde. It's a robust plant that doesn't require staking, making it easier to grow than some of its relatives. This tomatillo variety thrives in warm conditions, similar to its cousin, the tomato, but it's more resistant to pests and diseases.


The origins of the Grande Rio Verde Tomatillo trace back to Mexico, where tomatillos have been cultivated since pre-Columbian times. Tomatillos, including this variety, were domesticated by indigenous peoples like the Maya and Aztecs, long before European arrival. The name "tomatillo" itself derives from the Nahuatl word "tomatl," indicating its deep roots in Mexican culture. Over time, its cultivation spread, with the Grande Rio Verde being recognized for its large yields and suitability for both home gardens and commercial farming, especially noted for its use in traditional Mexican dishes.
