SERVING SIZE
Calories by portion and serving weight

How preparation changes the nutrition estimate
A reliable calorie entry should describe the food you actually ate—not merely a food with a similar name.
Raw
Selected reference.
Roasted or boiled
Use final weight and log cooking fat.
Salsa
Log the complete recipe.
Canned
Use the exact product label.
PRACTICAL CONTEXT
How raw tomatillos can fit different goals
There is no universal “good” or “bad” food. Portion, frequency, the rest of the meal, preferences and individual health needs all matter.
Portion math

Fibre check
The selected record lists 1.9 g fibre per 100 g.
Protein check
The selected record lists 0.96 g protein per 100 g.
Best logging move
Remove the husk, use edible fruit weight and record salsa or cooking ingredients separately.
QUALITY & SAFETY
How to choose, store and prepare it
Store
Keep whole tomatillos according to seller guidance.
After opening or cutting
Keep dehusked or cut fruit covered and chilled.
Prepare
Remove the husk and rinse the fruit before cutting.
Safety boundary
Discard mouldy or leaking fruit; the nutrient record does not establish storage duration.
PHOTO LOGGING
How to log raw tomatillos more accurately
A food photo can suggest the ingredient, but it cannot always reveal exact weight, hidden oil or preparation details. These checks turn an image guess into a better estimate.
- 01
Match the exact reference state: Tomatillos, raw.
- 02
Use edible grams. Calories are scaled from the selected per-100-g record; named portion weights come from the same local USDA record, while explicitly labelled gram examples are calculated.
- 03
Log oil, sauce, sweetener, salt and recipe ingredients separately.
- 04
Use a separate record when preparation changes the food state.
