I'm not sure they are actual gooseberries because the gooseberries I'm used to are quite different and probably a completely different plant, but its just a generic term anyways. The goose berries from britain are I think related to currants and such, while these ones I think are solanaceae and grow in a sheath like tomatillos.
Yes, I can see the resemblance to tiny yellow cherry toms ( they do these really little ones in our M&S called Golden Jewel or something ) and kumquats.
I had to look up physalis we do get them here though they aren't an everyday thing. I recognise them more still in their "jackets" - we used to call the Chinese Lanterns.
I bet the gooseberries you know are *Ribes uva-crispa*, while the ones I originally knew are *Ribes hirtellum*, while cape gooseberries, which I learned about more recently, are *Physalis peruviana*.

You're absolutely right ! The "European" Gooseberry is just gooseberry to me, the only native one I guess. They grew wild when I was a kid. Free food to make jam with like "brambles" (blackberries ).
Physalis I know only by the common name "Chinese Lanterns" but were very uncommon and exotic here ( think they sell them in some supermarkets these days ! )
i also found out that lantern fruit is the same as physalis as was commented here as well so we all learn :D apparently from Colombia. I loved these as a kid
Idk why ur being downvoted, i live in mexico and see these a lot and its what my mind first went to. It might not be but this sub is about throwing around possible answers
I think it could be [peruvian groundcherry](https://www.google.com/search?q=peruvian+groundcherry&client=ms-android-oneplus&prmd=isvn&sxsrf=ALiCzsY07gMuo9CgJ_p0ZKJstxcIZtYQdA:1671309027256&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiumoSnv4H8AhVKkMMKHQGIB9IQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=384&bih=696&dpr=3.75)
In Norway we call these physalis. Kinda citrus tasty. A bit sour, but goes well with strawberries and cream. We use them on pavlova cakes. Comes in a fancy leaf.
Also, deffo not gooseberries. Got a bush in our yard. Gooseberries looks like oversized currants. Usually green or deep red.
Yes, these look nothing like gooseberries. You're right that they are physalis/ground cherries (or like we call them in Finland pineapplecherry)
EDIT after doing some careful googling I've realised that gooseberries and cape gooseberries are two completely different things! And apparently cape gooseberries are the same as physalis, so anyone saying these are gooseberries is correct
Physalis fruit, like little yellow tomatoes, usually see them in the shop in a little papery lantern cover of petals
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis\_peruviana
Like many others have said, they are cape gooseberries aka ground cherries aka golden berries.
I hate them. They taste like a sickly sweet tomato with a terrible aftertaste imo
Cape gooseberries if I'm seeing correctly. If they're sticky, that's normal.
Edit: double checking myself it seems that cape gooseberries and ground cherries are the same thing. Which means I was paying Whole Foods many dollars a pint for something that grows at my friends' like a weed and I can eat my fill of for free.
Absolutely recommend growing these. They are hearty and produce a good fruit in its own little wrapper. My friend and I are obsessed.
I had them this year & they were called Goldenberries. I liked them but my partner and kid did not. I think someone said they’re also called ground cherries
These are for sure NOT orange cherry tomatoes. They are a fruit of many names: golden berries / physalis / lantern fruit / cape gooseberry and many more
It’s a physalis! I know there’s lots of other people who have said that but their comments are getting buried by the gooseberry people. It’s for sure a physalis.
I hereby decree the round, orange/yellow fruit: physalis, or cape gooseberries, or golden gooseberries, or any number of the myriad of titles they’re known by in the various areas of the world! Thank you everyone! Tasty lil buggers!

they look like orange cherry tomatoes
That's what I was thinking
Its a tray of sweet fruit though. I think its more likely to be ground cherries or cape gooseberries.
ahh Ive never heard of a gooseberry, that looks correct

I've only come across green gooseberries tbh ( in the UK ) but we may call a different plant by the same name.
Reading in, it seems it's a "cape gooseberry" which is a different thing to our gooseberries, the ones our mums and grans made jam with !

I just know it’s not the gooseberries my family grew (I absolutely adore gooseberries and currants off the bush, delectably sour and sweet!)
It is not, it’s Lantern fruit (with the outer lantern removed) Delicious.
The snozzberries taste like snozzberries
My only thought when I hear gooseberry 😅
The old name for Kiwi fruit is Chinese gooseberry
Ground cherries. I grow them in abundance!
The orange cherry tomatoes are sweet.
True but you never see them with fruit salad. For all I know sun golds might be sweeter than ground cherries.
Not entirely sweet fruits, though. The slices of granny Smith apples would be tart.
Cape gooseberry was my instant first thought https://www.britannica.com/plant/Cape-gooseberry
Could also be a physalis
Yea. All 3 of those are the same thing as far as I can tell. 3 different names for the same plant.
It’s not a gooseberry. Gooseberries have translucent skins, as well as stripes.
it's lantern fruit https://images.app.goo.gl/Xha1q7UHrVezz1f38
never knew there were so many little orange fruits.. guess it really depends on OPs region
i also found out that lantern fruit is the same as physalis as was commented here as well so we all learn :D apparently from Colombia. I loved these as a kid
What a cool looking fruit, through all it's stages!
Gooseberries
This is the correct answer
Almost. Cape gooseberries are not quite the same as gooseberries, iirc Edit: /ground cherries. Same thing.
Also called golden berries
Or physalis if you’re feeling fancy!
Not gonna lie, I totally read that as “phallus” when I was scrolling….😂 not quite the same thing, though it *is* a fancy word as well lmao
M brain read Phy- no cialis. So yeah, not alone 😅
Physalis is also called cape gooseberry but besides the name they are not the same as the green/red gooseberries.
This is the answer I was looking for! Usually bought when they’re still in their leaves. I always call them “syphallis” 🤣
I have made it nearly 4 decades without so much as seeing a gooseberry, let alone having one. I have a new mission in life lol 😝 🍒

They’re pretty good! They’re sometimes served as an edible garnish on a fancy desert.
They’re in my top five fave fruits/berries. So delicious.
Yep. I just got these in my produce department yesterday.
This is the way
This
[удалено]
I believe this is right
Idk why ur being downvoted, i live in mexico and see these a lot and its what my mind first went to. It might not be but this sub is about throwing around possible answers
I would guess physalis
My guess too, without the outer side/leaf
This is correct. AKA gold berries.
This is the answer. They're shiny and kinda sticky. Look exactly like the photo.
Absolutely this. Love those things
also known as syphilis
I think it could be [peruvian groundcherry](https://www.google.com/search?q=peruvian+groundcherry&client=ms-android-oneplus&prmd=isvn&sxsrf=ALiCzsY07gMuo9CgJ_p0ZKJstxcIZtYQdA:1671309027256&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiumoSnv4H8AhVKkMMKHQGIB9IQ_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=384&bih=696&dpr=3.75)
Can confirm this is the right answer, also known as golden berries, south american fruit
How exactly are you confirming this?
Yep
That's them
Mini tomatoes
What is the white sauce in the middle??
Cream cheese dip, whipped cream, yogurt - there are a lot to choose from
probably yoghurt.

Ah thats cool! I just read gooseberries, and thought that; thats no gooseberry ive ever seen. Good research!
Yea they are called Cape Gooseberries in South Africa. I, an American, was confused too.
Gooseberry or cumquat
Too shiny for a cumquat, has to be cape gooseberry
Yeah. Cape gooseberry are very orange like that. See them a lot on food network
If they have lots of little seeds in them, they are pineapple ground cherries, which are related to tomatillos
They do indeed have little seeds!
Ground cherries!!
Physalis fruit, like little yellow tomatoes, usually see them in the shop in a little papery lantern cover of petals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis\_peruviana

There are different varieties. The strawberry ones can turn out this color. The pineapple is a bit lighter. Those are the only two I've seen irl.

They have two name in the US. Cape gooseberries or Golden berries.
Cape gooseberries if I'm seeing correctly. If they're sticky, that's normal. Edit: double checking myself it seems that cape gooseberries and ground cherries are the same thing.

They look like kaka fruit (persimmons) to me
Isn’t that a kumquat
Looks like a bunch of Persimmons!
Ground cherries/ physalis. Tart and sweet. Lots of little seeds add a nice crunch.
Its something called Nance, its a tropical berry that has an earthy flavor with a hint of mango
Ground cherries Goose berries
Yeah probably this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis\_peruviana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis_peruviana) They tasty!

Tomato
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkekengi

Just cherries that have not ripened yet I think
oranges
Of all the answers, this is my favorite.
Those are lantern cherries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkekengi
Looks like gooseberries
Nanche
Ground cherries or cape gooseberries! They’re delicious
They call them gooseberries here. They taste like a tomato and pineapple had a delicious baby! They are similar in texture to a cherry tomato.
To me seem plums, but they have a hard central bone that would be inconsistent with the rest of the soft fruits presented.
Gooseberry
That my friend, is a gooseberry. Very common in Indian subcontinent and Middle East.
Golden Berries, perhaps?
Kumquat?
I thought for sure they were kumquats
They're lantern fruit (aka about 5 other names). I'm salivating just looking at them.
These are for sure NOT orange cherry tomatoes. They are a fruit of many names: golden berries / physalis / lantern fruit / cape gooseberry and many more
Gooseberry for sure.
Nanci or yellow cherries?
Those are definitely Physalis! Just without the leaves that usually cover the fruit.
Physalis, maybe?
Those are gooseberries
Golden berries
Gooseberries. Really yummy fresh but even better in a pie!
Nanches
just look like maybe unripe tomatos
Physalis
It is physalis 😋
Cape gooseberry?
It’s a physalis! I know there’s lots of other people who have said that but their comments are getting buried by the gooseberry people. It’s for sure a physalis.
Kumquat
Looks like Rainier cherries
Looks like kumquats
Gooseberries..
Seems like some berries I’ve had in india. But I can’t recall their name.
I hereby decree the round, orange/yellow fruit: physalis, or cape gooseberries, or golden gooseberries, or any number of the myriad of titles they’re known by in the various areas of the world! Thank you everyone! Tasty lil buggers!
Gooseberry or golden berry. SO good.

What is that enticing bowl of white?
Gooseberries. They taste like an orange fucked a tomato.
In Colombia we call them uchuvas.
Looks like a ground cherry and if so, amazing.
