Nutritional values

Pleasantly tangy and for the figure harmless ingredients such as vanilla, spiced tea and cranberries provide the taste. The sour little fruits also offer considerable amounts of vitamin C - 100 grams make up 12 grams of the Fitmacher.

 

Because of their attractive appearance, physalis and Cape gooseberries have become a permanent decoration - but they also play a major role in the taste of our ice cream!
