Discover a unique and delicious treat with our Ground Cherry seeds. This delightful heirloom, also known as Husk Cherry, produces an abundance of small, sweet-tart fruits, each wrapped in its own papery husk. When ripe, the husks turn brown and the berries drop to the ground, ready to be gathered. The flavor is a fantastic, complex mix of pineapple and tomato, perfect for making jams, pies, sauces, or just for snacking on straight from the garden.
