Description
The Physalis fruit is small and orange, similar in size, shape and structure to a small cherry tomato. The taste is somewhat similar to a strawberry or pineapple, with mild acidity. Once extracted from its husk, it can be eaten raw and used in salads. Physalis can also be added to desserts, used as flavouring, made into fruit preserves, or dried and used like raisins. They contain pectin and can be used in pie filling.
