PHYSALIS

Physalis is an exotic fruit that is native to South America. Colombia is the largest producer of physalis in the world. The fruit looks like a small, round and orange berry and it is covered by a papery husk called a calyx, whose function is to protect the fruit against insects, birds and extreme weather. The fruit has a diameter between 1,25 and 2.5 cm and it weighs between 4 and 10 grams. Physalis is also known by other names, such as golden berry, Inca berry or Cape gooseberry. Nutrients and culinary uses Physalis is a nutritious fruit with high levels of vitamins A and C, and moderate amounts of other vitamins, such as B1 and B3, and minerals such as iron. The berries are also high in antioxidants and help to reduce inflammation and cholesterol levels. The fruit has a tartly sweet flavor and can be eaten raw (without the calyx) or used in salads, desserts, or cocktails. The fruit with the calyx around it that looks like a paper lantern, is great as decoration on a dessert. The fruit can also be dried or made into jams due to its high pectin content.
