Gooseberry

The gooseberry is a caduceus shrub indigenous to Central and Northern Europe with juicy fruits of 10 - 20 mm diameter in many varieties with different colours of red, green, or white, all with strong, sour flavour. Gooseberries are rich in vitamins, including Vitamin C, minerals and secondary vegetal substances, and are also an excellent source of silicon, and for this reason are very good for our connective tissue. Gooseberries are also thought to possess other important properties, such as the purification and detoxification of the blood from heavy metal contamination and the drainage of the human organism in general.
