DID YOU KNOW?
Goldenberries have been grown all over the world: From the plant’s native Brazil, to far-reaching areas including Central and South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, California and Hawaii.

They are labeled “cape gooseberries” in Africa, “poha berry” in Hawaii, and have a number of folk names including “ground cherry” and “husk cherry.”
Goldenberries (gohl-duhn-ber-ee)
a fruit of the herbaceous perennial Chinese lantern Physalis peruviana, P pubesscens, or P. edulis, resembling a small yellow/orange cherry with a pulpy pericarp in which the seeds are embedded.
Golden Superfruit
Originally cultivated thousands of years ago in the Incan Empire, these dried berries have enjoyed a huge resurgence of popularity in markets around the world, due to their unique taste and remarkable health benefits. Also known as “Incan Berries” or “Cape Gooseberries,” Goldenberries grow in warm climates on a type of small but resilient bush, where natural paper hulks resembling Chinese lanterns delicately cradle the small golden fruit on the inside. Once harvested, the berries are sun-dried, developing a robust and complex citrus-like flavor that is appreciated by everyone from gourmet chefs to children.
