Scientific Classification: Ground cherry tomatillos belong to the genus Physalis, part of the Solanaceae family, closely related to tomatoes and peppers.
Appearance: They are encased in a papery husk that turns from green to brown as the fruit matures, giving them a distinctive lantern-like appearance.
Culinary Use: Unlike regular tomatillos, ground cherries are sweeter and can be eaten raw. They're often used in desserts, jams, or eaten fresh, though they can also be used in savory dishes for a unique flavor twist.
Nutritional Benefits: Ground cherries are rich in vitamins A and C, and also provide a good amount of niacin, making them a nutritious snack or ingredient. Additionally, they contain small amounts of essential minerals like potassium and magnesium.
