Growing Tips:

  • Planting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix, and keep the soil moist until germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
  • Spacing: Space plants 2-3 feet apart in rows, or in containers, to give them plenty of room to grow and produce fruit.
  • Sunlight: Pineapple Tomatillos thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth and fruit production.
  • Soil: Plant in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Amend soil with compost or organic matter to improve fertility and drainage.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry periods, to support healthy growth and fruit development.
  • Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer or compost tea every 3-4 weeks to encourage vigorous growth and high yields.

Harvesting Tips:

  • When to Harvest: Harvest Pineapple Tomatillos when the fruits have fully ripened and the husks have turned from green to a papery brown. The fruits should easily fall from the plant when gently tugged.
  • How to Harvest: Remove the husks before consuming, and enjoy the sweet, pineapple-like flavor of the ripe tomatillos. Store harvested fruits in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for extended freshness.

Culinary Uses:

  • Salsas: Create a tropical twist on traditional salsa by combining chopped Pineapple Tomatillos with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Perfect for serving with chips or as a topping for tacos and grilled meats.
  • Jams and Preserves: Make delicious pineapple-tomatillo jam or preserves to enjoy on toast, pastries, or as a glaze for meats and poultry.
  • Fresh Eating: Pineapple Tomatillos can be eaten fresh, straight from the garden. Their sweet flavor makes them a delightful snack or addition to fruit salads.
  • Desserts: Use Pineapple Tomatillos in pies, tarts, and fruit salads for a unique and refreshing dessert option.
