While I love growing off-color(!) veg, the main use of tomatillos is
as a tomato substitute for making thoroughly green sauce/salsa. Purple
doesn't sound very useful to me, unless they turn green when cooked,
like so many other purple veg.

You have a point, I had forgotten that purple veg often cook up green.
It is an heirloom variety, not a "designer" hybrid so I know that it
comes by it's colour honestly.

Thanks for your help!
