About Physalis

Physalis, also known as goldenberry or cape gooseberry, is a small, orange-colored fruit encased in a papery husk. Native to South America, it is enjoyed in various cuisines and appreciated for its sweet-tart flavor that pairs well in salads, jams, desserts, or eaten fresh. Packed with nutrients, physalis is a rich source of vitamins C and A, offering immune support and promoting healthy skin and vision. It also contains antioxidants, which help combat free radicals and reduce inflammation. Additionally, the fruit provides dietary fiber, contributing to digestive health, and is low in calories, making it a nutritious snack option. However, unripe physalis contains solanine, a toxic compound, and should be avoided until fully ripe. With its unique flavor and impressive nutritional profile, physalis is both a versatile and healthful addition to the table.
