Cape Gooseberries

Though the name is reminiscent of South Africa, the Cape gooseberry is originally from Brazil. It is wrapped in a thin, straw-colored, parchment-like husk. Inside, the berries are an orange-yellow hue and have a smooth, almost waxy sheen. Besides, their inner juicy pulp offers a crunchy texture and an almost creamy flavor with a slight grape-like tang. Nutrition-wise, cape gooseberries are high in vitamins A and C, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin. Not only is Vitamin C good for your skin, but it also helps in boosting your immunity. And as for Vitamin A, it protects your eyes and improves your eyesight.
