While the tomatillo is sometimes called a "husk tomato" or "Mexican tomato," it is really not a true tomato, but a member of the tomato family. It has a paper-like husk around it, which makes it easily identifiable. In Mexico the fruit is called tomates verdes, tomates de cascara as well as fresadillas.
