Physalis peruviana (Cape Goldenberry)
Native to the Andes of South America. The Cape gooseberry is an edible fruit packed with essential vitamins and minerals, providing a substantial nutritional value. It is particularly rich in vitamins such as A, B1, B2, B3, and C, and minerals like calcium, iron, and phosphorus with many health benefits. The trend toward healthy eating has sparked interest in exotic fruits like the Cape gooseberry, leading to its increased cultivation in non-native regions such as Sicily. It is called Uchuva in Colombia and is often used in salads or yogurts.
