About Cape goosberry
Cape gooseberry, also known as Physalis peruviana, is a small, golden-yellow fruit encased in a papery husk. Native to South America, it's cultivated globally and often used in desserts, jams, salads, and savory dishes. Cape gooseberries are a nutrient-rich option, boasting high levels of vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, which support immunity, skin health, and heart function. They're also a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness. Despite their sweetness, these berries are relatively low in calories and have a moderate glycemic index, making them suitable for balanced diets. They contain small amounts of iron and B vitamins, further contributing to their nutritional profile. However, the husk is inedible and should be removed before consumption. Deliciously tangy and versatile, Cape gooseberries are celebrated in cuisines worldwide for their bright flavor and health benefits.
