This makes the Andean berries, as they are also called, fit seamlessly into our extensive dried-fruit selection.

So stop the physalis hunt now and fill your store cupboard with our dried organic physalis!

The wonderful world of physalis

There are many different varieties of physalis. One of them is the Physalis peruviana, which can be recognised by its typical orange-coloured fruit. As its name suggests, it is mainly grown in South America, but also in Africa and India. It is often also called Cape gooseberry or Andean berry - and you can find the dried version of the tasty fruit here in our shop! Another well-known variety is the Physalis alkekengi, or lampion flower, which is also common in Germany as an ornamental plant. However, it is better to keep your hands off its fruits, which are recognisable by their reddish colour. So order our dried organic physalis instead!

For a sweet and sour kick: recipes with physalis

Physalis is rightly very popular and is an indispensable topping for your porridge. When dried, it is also a wonderful addition to a fruity pineapple and cranberry muesli or delicious banana granola bars. If you're not a big fan of sultanas but are looking for an adequate substitute, you should definitely give dried physalis a change and use it to fine-tune your (vegan) Kaiserschmarrn. Our favourite: physalis jam! Leave the dried fruit to soak overnight and you can easily use it the next day. Cape gooseberries also add an unbelievably delicious, sweet and sour note to savoury dishes - for example, as a fruity chutney for a winter curry or as an exciting component in your tofu bowl. As you can see, Andean berries are an absolute must in your kitchen! As a special snack, we can also recommend our delicious puffed physalis - a great alternative to conventional nibbles for the next movie night.

In principle, nothing speaks against it from our side. However, we are not experts in this field, so you should always talk to your gynecologist about it.

Are physalis poisonous?

For this question, we have to go a little further. Basically, the answer is yes and no. Physalis belong to the nightshade family and thus naturally contain toxic alkaloids. However, as with other nightshade plants (for example, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants), certain varieties have been cultivated for human consumption, so the fruits of the plant are safe to eat, provided they are fully ripe. Long story short, you should definitely stay away from the leaves and roots of any physalis species. However, one variety where the fruits are completely safe to eat when ripe and thoroughly washed is Physalis peruviana. The berries are characterized by their bright orange color and are certainly familiar to you from the supermarket. You can find the dried version of this delicious fruit as well as puffed phys alis in our store. Other edible physalis fruits include the so-called pineapple berry or the tomatillo.

Are physalis healthy?

Healthy is first and foremost a balanced diet. Therefore, we at KoRo are very reluctant to judge food as healthy and unhealthy. Cape gooseberries are rich in fiber and can be used in many dishes, but also snacked pure. Harmful to health in relation to the physalis are in any case the toxic parts of the plant such as the leaves and roots.

And last but not least, dried physalis are also a great snack for in between.

Where do your organic physalis come from?

Information about the origin of our Physalis is provided by two of its many names. Originally, Physalis peruviana, as its botanical name is, came from South America, hence the name Andean berry. It was then brought to South Africa, where the name Cape gooseberry originated. Today, physalis are also grown in India and on the island of Java, among other places. Our physalis come from organic farming in Peru. By the way, the name physalis comes from the Greek and means "bladder" or "shell".

Lampion flower is also a variety of Physalis, which is native to Germany, among other countries. Its botanical name is Physalis alkekengi.

The Physalis peruviana, which you can find in our store, bears orange fruits, which are edible when ripe.

Do the ande berries contain gluten?

Physalis do not contain gluten by nature. However, unknowing contamination with gluten-containing grains may occur during harvesting or processing, which is why we do not label the product as gluten-free.
