Native to Mexico and Central America, the Gigante Verde tomatillo belongs to the large Solanaceae family. A close relative of the tomato, it is distinguished by its fruit enclosed in a papery husk that dries out, revealing a green berry traditionally used in salsas and cooked sauces. In a vegetable garden, its light, branching silhouette and small green blossoms provide a discreet yet constant presence throughout the summer.

In the vegetable garden, it's a valiant companion for sunny spots. Its root system establishes itself well in welcoming, well-drained soil, and its discreet flowering gives way to an abundance of green fruit at optimal ripeness. Selected for its larger fruit size, Gigante Verde lends itself well to generous harvests and processing, contributing to a harmonious garden where each plant enhances the diversity of both the table and the landscape.
