goldenberry
Husk-wrapped tart fruit
A goldenberry is a small, round, yellow-orange fruit enclosed in a papery husk, similar to its relative the tomatillo.
Native to South America, it has a sweet-tart flavor often compared to pineapple or citrus.
Goldenberries are eaten fresh, dried, or in jams and desserts: I added dried goldenberries to my trail mix.
Also called cape gooseberry or Peruvian groundcherry.
