Golden berries are one of my ALL TIME favorite fruits! 💛
Native to the Andes Mountains in South America, these tiny orange gems are bursting with a unique sweet-tart flavor, like a mix of pineapple and citrus. They’re perfect for snacking, making jams, adding to salads and accenting your boards.
I like to display them whole, add them to skewers or style them with a zig-zag cut for garnishment✨
Fun fact: these berries are encased in a papery husk that acts as a protective layer, similar to how a tomatillo grows! They’re considered a superfruit due to their nutrient rich profile, and have served dietary and medicinal purposes of indigenous communities in the Andes for centuries. I buy the Sun Belle Berries brand from Trader Joe’s which are grown in Colombia.
Let me know how you use these vibrant gems!💛
