How to store
Store ripe physalis in a cool place, but not in the fridge. This way, they can be stored for several days. Unripe physalis ripen at room temperature.
How to eat
A fun way to use physalis is to decorate with the husk still attached. Turn the husk inside out and then twist the husk for a nice effect. Don’t forget to remove the husk from the physalis to eat the berry.
