About Golden berry

Golden berry, also known as Physalis or Cape gooseberry, is a small, vibrant orange fruit encased in a papery husk. Native to South America, particularly Peru and Colombia, this tart and slightly sweet berry is a staple in Andean cuisine. It’s packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and E, as well as antioxidants like flavonoids and carotenoids. Golden berries are also an excellent source of dietary fiber, supporting digestive health, and contain potassium, which aids in maintaining heart health and regulating blood pressure. Additionally, their natural compounds are believed to have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. However, unripe golden berries can be toxic due to solanine, so they should always be consumed fully ripened. Versatile and nutritious, they can be enjoyed raw, dried, or incorporated into salads, smoothies, and desserts for a healthful, tangy twist.
