Question 1

What is special about KoRo's dried physalis?

Accepted Answer

Our physalis are gently dried after harvesting, so that they get a particularly tasty crunch and have a longer shelf life. The delicious sweet and sour taste of the fruit remains. In the 1 kg supply pack, you can also enjoy the fruits for a long time and save on packaging waste and transport routes - for a little more sustainability.

Question 2

How do I store the cape gooseberries and how long do they keep?

Accepted Answer

Our Cape gooseberries feel most comfortable at room temperature, protected from light. Under these circumstances, the minimum shelf life in the original sealed packaging is 18 months.

Question 3

Are physalis good for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

To lose weight, first and foremost a calorie deficit is necessary. You should pay attention to a balanced diet with which you cover all important daily nutrients. So you can continue to snack on our gooseberries without any problems if you pay attention to how many calories you consume in total.

Question 4

Do the ande berries contain gluten?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What is the difference between the physalis and the lampion flower?

Accepted Answer

Lampion flower is also a variety of Physalis, which is native to Germany, among other countries. Its botanical name is Physalis alkekengi. This variety is easily recognizable by its dark red fruits, which, however, should better not be eaten. The Physalis peruviana, which you can find in our store, bears orange fruits, which are edible when ripe.

Question 6

Where do your organic physalis come from?

Accepted Answer

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".

Question 7

What can I use dried ande berries for?

Accepted Answer

Very good question! The first thing that comes to mind is your muesli or favorite porridge, which is just waiting to be refined with our Cape gooseberries. But also savory dishes, such as a tofu bowl or a lentil curry, the dried physalis give an incredibly delicious, sweet-sour note. Soaked overnight, you can also make a great jam from the fruit. And last but not least, dried physalis are also a great snack for in between.

Question 8

Are physalis healthy?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

Are physalis poisonous?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

Can I eat physalis during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

How many calories have 100 g of the dried physalis?

Accepted Answer

100 g of our organic physalis come to 317 calories.

Question 12

How are dried cape gooseberries produced?

Accepted Answer

Question 13

Of course! Our physalis come from 100% organic farming.

Question 14

Are physalis fruits or vegetables?

Accepted Answer

Physalis are fruits that belong to the nightshade family.

Question 15
