Golden Berries nutrition and facts

Golden Berries

Golden berries are another dried form of fruit that has recently become popular.

However, the true name of the fruit is ‘Peruvian groundcherry’. As the name suggests, they are native to Peru—as well as other South American countries.

Often dubbed a ‘superfood’, the berries are trendy in healthy eating circles.

(Note: it is best to take all ‘superfood’ claims with a liberal pinch of salt.)

They have an incredibly sour taste, so give them a try if you’re one of those people who like eating raw lemon.

Nutritionally, like most sour-tasting fruits, they provide a good source of vitamin C.
