Gooseberries Nutrition facts
Gooseberries
Gooseberries are small, round to oval berries of European origin. They grow in the wild all over the temperate climates of Europe, North America, and Siberia. Botanically, they related very closely to currants, and belong to the same family of Grossulariaceae, in the genus, Ribes. These berries packed with pigment antioxidant polyphenolics, and vitamins.
Scientific name: Ribes uva-crispa L.
Gooseberries (R. uva-crispa L.) are one of the four wild Ribes species (R. alpinum L., R. rubrum L. and R. petraeum Wulf.) growing in the Northern Hemisphere. As in currants, gooseberry also grows best in regions where summers are humid, but winter is severe and chilling.
