unique and delicious heirloom treasure from the mystical town of Malinalco in the southwest of Mexico. Botanical explorer Joe Simcox searched high and low for the fabled variety revered for its extra large fruit and sweet fruity flavor. The 4-inch fruit are completely sheathed in papery husk on productive plants. The flavor is incomparable, notes of green apple, tangy unique, used by Portland Chef Sam Reed in a Romesco sauce! A must for any wonderful salsa and sauce!

The queen of Malinalco Tomatillo is from Malinalco, Mexico and is one of the coolest tomatillos I have ever grow, and I grow a-lot, about 10 varietals each year when a friend gave me seeds for this one. WOW up to four inches long and sweet, not the sweetest one but still edible fresh, unlike most green ones. Plants get about 4'+ and production is good. I made a salsa out of just these with a yellow pepper and a yellow onion and well it was amazing.
