Ground cherry tomatillos are small, lantern-shaped fruits encased in a papery husk. They belong to the nightshade family. The fruit is juicy and has a tangy, slightly sweet flavor. Often used in salsas, jams, or eaten fresh, they're rich in vitamins and antioxidants.


The ground cherry tomatillo's history traces back to South America, particularly Peru. Indigenous peoples cultivated it long before European contact. It spread northwards, becoming a staple in Mexican cuisine. Europeans discovered it during exploration voyages. Today, it's enjoyed globally, prized for its unique taste and versatility.
