Tomatillo

August 9, 2025

This hue is inspired by the fresh, green skin of the tomatillo, a staple ingredient in Mexican cuisine. Encased in a papery husk, the fruit develops its bright color from chlorophyll and is harvested at peak ripeness while still green for its optimal tart, citrusy flavor. A member of the nightshade family, the tomatillo has been cultivated in Mexico for centuries, lending its color and tang to salsas, sauces, and countless traditional dishes. Its vivid green captures both the brightness of fresh produce and the flavor of a summer garden.
