Description
Streamline your Mexican menu production with the consistent quality of Del Sol Whole Tomatillos. Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary warehouse, this 6-can bulk case is a mission-critical asset for Canadian kitchens. Processing fresh tomatillos is labor-intensive, requiring peeling, washing, and dealing with seasonal quality fluctuations. Del Sol tomatillos come Ready-to-Use (RTU)—already husked and gently blanched in the can to maintain their structural integrity and bright, citrusy snap. Whether you are batching a signature Salsa Verde or a rich Pork Chili Verde, these #10 cans provide the standardized acidity and volume required for high-traffic foodservice operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these already cooked?
They are blanched during the canning process to maintain color and texture. They are soft enough to blend immediately but firm enough to be charred on a flat-top or under a broiler for a smokier flavor profile.
What is the drained weight of a #10 can?
The drained weight is approximately 55-60 oz, depending on the harvest. The remaining liquid is a flavorful brine that can be used to thin out salsas or add a tart kick to rice and stews.
Are they husked?
Yes, all Del Sol tomatillos come fully husked and cleaned. They are ready to use the moment you open the can.
Why buy from ChickenPieces.com?

Is there a difference in flavor between fresh and canned tomatillos? Fresh tomatillos offer a slightly crispier texture, but they vary wildly in acidity depending on the season. Del Sol Whole Tomatillos provide a standardized acidity level. Most professional chefs prefer the canned version for cooked sauces (like Enchilada sauce or Chili Verde) because the flavor is more predictable for batch-cooking.
Can I roast these tomatillos if they come in a liquid? Absolutely. For a deeper, smoky "roasted salsa" flavor, drain the tomatillos and pat them dry. Toss them on a hot flat-top or under a broiler for a few minutes until they get a light char. Because they are already blanched, they char very quickly compared to fresh fruit.
What is the "Drained Weight" of a single #10 can? While the can is 100 oz total, the drained weight of the whole fruit is typically 55 to 60 oz. We recommend keeping the brine; it contains natural pectin and tartness that is excellent for adjusting the consistency of your final salsa.
