Description
Purple de Milpa is a Mexican heirloom tomatillo traditionally associated with milpa fields, where corn, beans, squash, and useful crops grow together. The small to medium fruits blush purple as they mature, wrapped in papery husks with a bright, zesty flavor inside.
Use them fresh or roasted for salsa, sauces, pickling, and rich garden cooking. The fruits store well for a tomatillo, and the plants bring a wilder, older feel to the row—part food crop, part story of the field.
