Golden Berry, High in Antioxidants and Unique Plant Compounds

The golden berry plant is known for its bright orange-gold marble-size fruits that are native to regions of Peru, Colombia and Ecuador. One of the "Lost Crops of the Incas", golden berries are now popular today in the "superfruit world" for their higher concentrations of antioxidants and plant-specific compounds.

Referred to as Incan berries, gooseberries or groundcherries, they are rich in carotenoids, polyphenols, withanolides and are well-researched for their anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating features.

I ate about 2 cups worth about 30 minutes ago. I feel very warm & fuzzy, and my stomach feels good. Interesting fruit.

In portugal, my family bought this plant 15+ years ago, and interestingly keeps growing everywhere spontaneously, you can feel the freshness and high energy it provides. Love it!

Love that even at age 42 there are still surprises.

My husband just came home from shopping and said he found a fruit we never tried before so I had to come find a video . I'm definitely going to start buying these from now on!!

These are from Peru and called aguaymanto. The Spaniards took them around the world and now they grow in many countries. The plant is easy to grow and hearty. Very healthy to eat.

These things grow wild all over my property...we've been eating these since forever! They're great!

I bought some last year at Whole Foods for a charcuterie board. I was looking for unique fruits and this certainly fit the bill. I've been curious about them since. Thank you for this video.

We planted two in our front yard in Morro Bay, CA. Grew amazing and my 6 year old daughter eats about 10 a day!

Here in Nepal, it will grow all over the field especially when its time to harvesting 🌽. In our childhood days we sometimes used to eat them when it turn to yellow( ripe) just for fun. We don’t typically consider it as fruit neither vegetable but as grass. We called it “ Putusey” in our language.

I've been growing them for 2 years now. The great thing is, like many weeds, once groiwing them, they will pop up everywhere the next year. That's what I want, is to have them growing wild in my area once again. Just take your unused berries and toss them around a forest area's edge (each berry contains many seeds), and you'll have them from now on. You'll see them advertised mostly under the name groundcherry. You'll also find out, that you can eat these at many levels of ripeness, so if you try one and don't like it, don't give up. As soon as they are ripe, they're ok, but as they ripen more, they turn a darker yellow, and the taste improves. Most people I have had try them, say they like them.

this berry is also wildly grow in south east asia'a tropical forests. All year round fruiting. In fact, been long known and used in west java, Indonesia. Kids usually play and pick this fruit for their consumption while playing out.

[magenagrima-xdpi]

I have 2 types. The soft stemmed and the hard stemmed. The soft stemmed is called tino tino or putok Putok in Philippine terminologies. They are easy to cultivate. I plant them in pots.

[alberttorres]

Masarap yan manamis namis at medyo maasim. Nong bata pa ako kinakain namin yan tumubo lang kasi kung saan saan, lalo na sa likod bahay namin dati. Laptokay tawag samin nyan.

[diboakale]

We have this all over the north west province of Cameroon. We call it "mbumturu" in Nlimbum

[howdydoodey]

This is the best weed to grow - EVER. It doesn't like frosts. Plant under trees, by a fence, anywhere.
The fibre cage hides the fruit from birds and fallen ones can be recovered off the ground.
Eating them raw is an acquired taste, yet children love them.
Best kept secret is that they make an *amazing* jam with a pleasant new taste.
