A bite of Sunshine ☀️ and one of my absolute favorite fruit 💛
Cape gooseberries (Physalis peruviana), known locally in South Africa as appelliefies, come wrapped in their own little paper lanterns✨Inside hides a vibrant, golden-orange berry that has a delicious sweet-tart flavor. It tastes like a tropical mix of citrus, pineapple, and mango all at once.
They are super easy to grow, prolific and can become almost w**d like. It is also possible to grow them in pots
Commercially grown blueberries and strawberries frequently contain residues of organophosphate insecticides like phosmet and malathion, as well as various synthetic fungicides and herbicides used to protect the soft fruit from pests, fungi, and w**ds. I never eat shop bought berries for this reason, not to mention the single use plastic produced for every 50g of fruit 😔 I mean where does all that plastic go?
Rather grow a few berries of your own.
