Goldenberries – Superfruit of the Andes

The Incan Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) is native to South America, but cultivated and known more commonly around the world as Cape Gooseberries – in fact, it was one of the few non-native fresh fruits available to the early Western settlers of east coast Australia. Fresh berries are bright yellow and very sweet when ripe, and in their lantern-like husks are used in decorative gourmet dessert garnishes.

Goldenberries have a delicious tangy flavour and are a source of Vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B6, B12, fibre, phosphorous, calcium, cleansing pectin and interestingly for a fruit, they have a high protein count.

They are also a good source of bioflavonoids (Vitamin P) – considered to have anti-inflamatory, anti-oxidant and anti-viral properties.

Serving suggestion: Delicious straight out of the bag, or add to trail mix, yoghurt, muesli, lunch boxes, jams, fruit cakes, muffin or cookie batter.
