Small Pineapple Cherries – Physalis pruinosa – Organic vegetable seeds

The Small Pineapple Cherry is a fruity plant with small, yellow fruits that have a delicious pineapple-like flavor. The fruits are ripe to eat as soon as the lantern dries out and becomes translucent. They are a fantastic sweet snack, a beautiful garnish, and a cheerful decoration for cakes.

You can pre-sow the seeds in March and transplant the seedlings in April-May to a warm, sunny, and sheltered spot in the garden, 40x40 cm apart. The plants grow to about 60-90 cm tall, so provide sturdy support and protection from night frost and wind.

The berries can be harvested in August and September, when the lanterns have dried out and become translucent. Enjoy these delicious little fruits as a healthy snack or as a surprising ingredient in your favorite dishes.
