The physalis is best known for its decorative calyx that wraps around the berry and gives it a lantern-like appearance. The physalis retains its husk even after it is picked, making it an ideal decoration for culinary dishes, desserts and salads. Dried physalis has a unique sweet and sour taste which packs a punch to baked goods and bars. Berrico’s physalis grows in the mountains of South America and is available in organic and conventional quality.
