Tomatillos, pronounced to-ma-tee-YO, are not green tomatoes; they belong to a different species with distinct flavors, textures, and uses primarily in Mexican cuisine.
Both tomatoes and tomatillos are nightshades native to the Americas, but tomatillos remain primarily in Mexican recipes, while tomatoes have a global culinary presence.
While tomatoes boast over 10,000 varieties enjoyed worldwide, tomatillos are less known and not as commonly available, reflecting their more niche culinary application.
