The Physalis belong to the Solanaceas family. This is a round fruit weighing 5 to 7grms and its diameter is approximately 2cm. The berry is loosely enclosed in a natural, papery, yellowish husk that must be open to consume the fruit. The phsyalis has a smooth, waxy, glossy and orange-yellow skin; the pulp is juicy and contains numerous, very small, light - yellow seeds. When ripe, it tastes sweet with a fine and delicate sour touch.
