About

The Ground Cherry, native to Latin America, is a small orange fruit that looks like a cherry tomato in size and shape enclosed in a light brown paper-like husk. The flavor is somewhat sweet and tangy much like a combination of the flavor of a pineapple and a tomato. The fruit can be eaten raw and is often used in salads, jams, jellies, and baked goods.
