Cape Gooseberries (Physalis)

Cape Gooseberries which are sometimes referred to as Physalis, are bright yellow and are larger and sweeter than the green gooseberries you may be used to seeing. They can be eaten out of hand or used in a fruit salad or as garnish. Each has a brown papery husk that is removed before eating. This unique feature makes them an interesting garnish on the side of a dessert and will be seen used in many fancy restaurants.
