Forget the morning OJ and dip into this full flavor tomatillo salsa!
Tomatillos contain 20 percent of the daily recommended Vitamin C! They also contain a healthy amount of magnesium and 13 percent of the daily recommended Vitamin K.
A recently discovered set of naturally occurring phytochemical compounds called withanolides, such as Ixocarpalactone-A, is one of the compounds in tomatillos found not only to be antibacterial, but also a natural cancer fighter.
