| | The husk tomato or ground cherry fruit is much smaller than the tomatillo, is very sweet and used mainly for jam and preserves after the fruit has ripened and turned yellow. | | | Tomatoes, tree tomatoes (also called tamarillos), tomatillos, husk tomatoes (also called ground cherries) and the Japanese Lantern plant are all in the Solanaceae family. | | | Tomato varieties mature over a wide range, commonly from 75 days for early cherry types to 85 days for early full size fruit types, 100 days for medium, and 110 days for later, full season varieties from direct seeded plantings. |

| | Mexican Husk Tomato |
| | In Mexico, the husk tomato and the common tomato are both subject to a disease called chino or chahuixtle which occurs in irrigated plantings in Morelos. | | | The Mexican husk tomato is usually raised from seed and it takes about 2 1/4 oz (60 g) to plant an acre; 5 1/4 oz (150 g) to plant a hectare. | | | However, as the fruits began to mature, they were attacked within the husk by a species of cutworm and only a few mature fruits were harvested. |

| | Tomatillo (Husk Tomato) Produce Facts |
| | The tomatillo or husk tomato (Physalis ixocarpa) is a small, spherical and green or green-purple fruit surrounded by an enlarged calyx or "husk." As the fruit matures, it fills the husk and can split it open by harvest. | | | Washing in chlorinated water reduces superficial mold growth, but may be difficult to implement commercially since it is difficult to remove all moisture from inside the husk. | | | For longer storage life temperatures of 5° to 10°C (41° to 50°F) with moderate humidity levels (80-90% RH) are recommended to retain the freshness of the fruit and the husk. |

| | Tomatillo |
| | An infusion of the husks (calyces) is added to tamale dough to improve its spongy consistency, as well as to that of fritters: it is also used to impart flavour to white rice and to tenderize red meats. | | | In actual fact, it is a cultivated tomato with a small fruit; the reason for this fraudulence lies in the fact that the price of wild tomatoes growing in cultivated fields is double that of the cultivated tomatoes. | | | In Mexico, another type of tomato is found which is sold on the markets as wild from cultivated fields. |
