🍊 Cape Gooseberries (Rasbhari) - From Our Award-Winning Mahabaleshwar Farmer

✨ Bright, tangy, and naturally golden, our Certified Organic Cape Gooseberries (Rasbhari) are sourced from a renowned Mahabaleshwar farmer with whom we share a trusted five-year partnership. Grown with integrity and care, these berries represent purity, provenance, and authentic organic farming.

🌱 What Makes Our Cape Gooseberries Stand Out?

Cape Gooseberries (Physalis peruviana) are a lesser-known gem in India’s fruit landscape - delicate, nutrient-dense, and uniquely flavorful.

Cultivated in the cool, elevated microclimate of Mahabaleshwar, Maharashtra, these berries thrive under:

• 🌞 Mild temperatures
• 🌬️ Clean mountain air
• 🌾 Well-drained soils

This terroir allows the fruit to develop its signature balance of gentle sweetness and citrusy tang.

We source exclusively from a nationally acclaimed organic farmer, celebrated by the Government of Maharashtra for excellence in cultivating strawberries, raspberries, mulberries, and gooseberries. Our partnership since 2021 reflects our philosophy of long-term collaboration over transactional sourcing.

🍂 Each berry is naturally protected by its papery husk, which acts as a shield, preserving freshness and signaling ripeness. Grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or growth regulators, these gooseberries are harvested at peak maturity and delivered fresh for maximum flavor and nutrition.
