Changgang Chinese Gooseberry

Changgang Chinese Gooseberry

　　The King of Vitamin C

　　Changgang Town is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, at a relatively high altitude with abundant rainfall and large temperature variations. Here grows a wild fruit called Chinese gooseberry. The Chinese gooseberry plant is low-growing and forms clusters, with thorns on its branches and fruit. The thorns on the fruit are relatively soft and not likely to prick people. The fruit is pear-shaped, hence the name "gooseberry." Each fruit weighs about 15 grams and has a diameter of approximately 2.5 centimeters. Chinese gooseberries are extremely rich in vitamin C, ranking first among all fruits, which is why they are also known as the king of vitamin C. They have a sweet and sour taste with high water content, making them ideal for brewing fruit wine or making canned products.
