Physalis

We would like to put our physalis fruits in the limelight! The physalis, also known as the Cape gooseberry or simply golden berry, is a berry enclosed in a papery husk. The bright orange berry is similar to a tomato.

This wonderful golden berry has a tartly sweet flavour and its lovely paper-lantern-like husks make great decorations for a pie or other dessert. Yex provides active promotional support for this wonderful product and we will be happy to help you with promotions and activities!

Our physalis goes under our brand Discovered.

Storage advice Physalis

In the store

Physalis must be kept refrigerated before sale at a temperature of 10-12°C with a relative humidity of 70%.

At home

We recommend that consumers store unripe physalis at room temperature so that they’ll ripen. Once the physalis is ripe, the fruit will be bright orange/yellow in colour. Store ripe physalis in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator.

Usage tips Physalis

Remove the stem and the papery husk from the physalis and wash the berry. Eat the physalis as is or make a jam with it. Physalis is also delicious in salads and desserts. You do have to remove the papery husk, though, because this is not edible.

Extra tip for the consumer
The physalis, particularly with the lantern still attached, also makes a wonderful decoration on a tart or dessert.
