These vining plants produce sweet, tangy fruit encased in a delicate papery husk, often referred to as a husk tomato. Each organic pineapple tomatillo seed grows into a productive plant with golden-yellow fruit perfect for pineapple salsa, desserts, and fresh snacking. For best results, start seeds indoors or sow outdoors after the last spring frost.
