Physalis

Originating from Peru, it was consumed by Native Americans and later spread to Europe across the trade routes and via the colonizers in the 18th century. Its scientific name is "Physalis Peruviana”.The fruit is yellow in colour and slightly orange when fully ripe, with a brownish calyx. It has a light sweet and sour flavour which is reminiscent of the tomato although with less acidity.
