Shelf Life and Storage

Gooseberry Physalis has a shelf life of 2 to 3 days. The best way to store these berries is to refrigerate them upon arrival if you aren't eating them right away. You can store them in a breathable container and place them in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life. If these berries have a husk attached, don't remove them until you are ready to use them, as these husks tend to protect the berries from moisture loss.

Health Benefits

Good for Heart Health:

Gooseberry Physalis contains ellagic acid, which has antioxidant properties. It reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, helping to protect the body from factors that could lead to the development of cardiovascular diseases.

Better Immune System:

Gooseberries are rich in Vitamin C, a well-known antioxidant that supports the immune system by stimulating the production of white blood cells. This protection is crucial in preventing oxidative stress or, in simple terms, the death of immune cells caused by rogue elements.

Better Digestive Health:

Gooseberries, in general, are beneficial for digestive health as they contain fiber — an insoluble substance that adds bulk to the stool, eliminates constipation, and addresses other digestion-related issues. Moreover, it helps regulate bowel movements.
