Originally cultivated in the Andes where they are still grown today and wild-harvested at 7,500-10,000 feet. They were taken to Florida/Louisiana in the 1700's and then transported by Cajuns to Quebec where they are still cultivated as an annual crop. They are a member of the Solanacaea family, as are the tomatillo and tamarillo, which are close cousins.

These flavorful bite-sized fruits have a multitude of names such as Cape Gooseberries, Husk Tomatoes, Ground Cherries, Inca Berries, Aztec Berries, Peruvian Cherries and Poha. Enjoy out of hand as a quick snack or in desserts, jams, jellies, preserves, pie fillings (with or without strawberries), chutneys, sauces, purees, meat glazes, or garnishes for plates and beverages.

Goldenberries have a very short season and are in limited supply. They are hand selected for excellent quality. Their shelf life is 7-14 days and consumers can enjoy them the day of purchase or they may be kept up to 5 days under refrigeration.

This item is perishable and must ship at least 2nd day.
