A member of the nightshade family as are tomatoes, husk cherries (also known as ground cherries) are characterized by their small, orange fruit — similar in size, shape and structure to a small tomato — that is partly or fully enclosed in a large, papery husk.
- These little gems are in the same genus as tomatillos (Physalis philadelphica).
- Ground cherries taste slightly sweet and tropical, with a texture that's somewhere between a tomato and a grape.
- Ground cherries are very versatile, suitable in both sweet and savory dishes.
- You can just unwrap the fruits and eat them raw, like cherry
