Yup indeed physalis - taste wonderful when ripe!

There are two types of Physalis... Physalis peruviana, which has a brown paper-like lantern shape that covers the fruit when it's ripe and this is the type normally sold in supermarkets. The other type is physalis alkekengi which has a red lantern parcel and is normally grown for it's ornamental decoration.

Both are edible, but be careful to make sure that they are fully ripe as they are poisonous when green. They look nice in a small bowl in the middle of the dinner table still in their lanterns for decoration. They are also very easy to grow from seed.

So they are but our summers are usually too short for many to ripen. In a greenhouse they go mad, and come back year after year.

Physalis franchetii

Look nice but an absolute thug and spreads everywhere.

Hi all thanks for your responses. The answer is now nailed. On seeing your suggestions for physalis I have since carried on the research a little and found that they are physalis of the tomatillo kind. So now will be cooking a few Mexican recipes to use them up.

Again many thanks

Mark

Have fun!
