how do i know tomatillo are ripe
Tomatillos can quickly go from being ripe to splitting their skins, and are over-ripe if they have turned a pale yellow. Fully ripe tomatillos are usually 1 to 2 inches in diameter, with a tangy to sweet flavor. Under-ripe tomatillos do not fill the paper husk, may appear slightly shriveled and taste somewhat sour.
