Inca Berries - Golden Berries - Organic, from

Inca berries, Physalis peruviana, are a member of the Solanaceae plant family and are related to the tomato, eggplant and potato. They are also known as Cape Gooseberries. Fresh inca berries have a glossy orange-yellow skin that is protected by delicate, papery leaves. Once dried, they are a distinct bronze-orange colour, similar in size to a large raisin. In South America, dried Inca berries or “aguaymanto” have been eaten for centuries as a folk medicine – also for snacking, in baking and to add flavour to a wide variety of dishes from stews to salads. Inca berries are highly nutritious dried fruit providing a good source of antioxidants, dietary fibre and vitamin C.
