Gooseberries!



So delicious. Gooseberry is one of my favorites of all time. Similar in species to a currant, the gooseberry is a unique little ribe with a tart and bold flavor. Native to Europe and parts of Asia, the gooseberry is often cultivated to include in deserts and teas, or in our scrumptious sorbetto. Gooseberries are a strange and magical fruit, and have mesmerized humans for a millennium. Even Pliny the Elder wrote about them growing upon the ruins of ancient castles. They should not be confused with Goosebumps however, which are a series of young adult paranormal somewhat scary fantasy books.
