Contact SupplierCape gooseberries are bittersweet, slightly tart, and quite juicy. They have some of the acidity of a cherry tomato and notes of citrus fruits, pineapple, peaches, and cherries.Research confirms that ripe Cape Gooseberries are non-toxic and safe for human consumption. They lack harmful compounds that could cause health issues. It's crucial to distinguish between unripe and ripe fruit, as the former can contain solanine, a toxin found in green potatoes.Gooseberries are often added to drinks and desserts as a compote or purée, as well as being made into jams, chutneys and sauces in savoury dishes. They pair especially well with other seasonal fruits such as elderflowers and strawberries, along with citrus fruits.
