Did you know?

Small yellowish-green fruits with pronounced ribs, borne in clusters pressed against the trunk; a cut section shows a star. Too sour to eat fresh, it is candied, pickled or made into preserves. It is not related to the true gooseberry; the name comes only from its look.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
