Density 89 · -4 vs Vegetables medianTomatillos score 89 of 100, a Strong result, but at rank 35 of 60 in the vegetables category they fall below the group's median of 93. Their calorie count is low at 32 per 100 grams, and their one standout is a good 13% DV of vitamin C, a modest but real contribution for something eaten in small pieces.
A medium tomatillo (34 g) is husked, rinsed of its sticky coating, and used raw or cooked into salsa verde, stews, and Mexican dishes for its tart flavor. No limitation is flagged for this food, and for a vegetable that scores higher in the same category, turnips are worth considering.
