"Acorazonado" Tomatillo

Physalis ixocarpa

Acorazonado (meaning heart-shaped), as it is locally called, is a yellow landrace tomatillo from the ancient Aztec pueblo of Malinalco, Mexico, a place steeped in magical lore. Also called “Queen of Malinalco” this tomatillo is quite unique in terms of its size and shape, which is indeed heart-like, but also its out-of-hand sweetness and fruitiness— like no other tomatillo we’ve tried before! It also has a hollow seed cavity, more like a pepper, which makes for delicious stuffed tomatillos. We are selecting our stock for blight resistance and ability to thrive in our humid Maine summers.
