What is Frozen Physalis?

Frozen physalis consists of ripe physalis fruit that is cleaned and quick-frozen to lock in its nutritional content and distinct flavor. The fruit is small, round, and orange-yellow, with a papery husk that is removed before processing.

Harvest Season of Frozen Physalis

Physalis is typically harvested between late summer and early autumn. The exact season depends on the producing region. Because of its delicate nature, it is often frozen quickly post-harvest, making timing essential for consistent supply and pricing.

Producing Countries

Frozen physalis is mainly produced in countries like Colombia, Peru, and South Africa. These regions offer optimal growing conditions and established export channels. Some suppliers in Eastern Europe and China also process smaller volumes for the frozen market.

Trends

Frozen physalis has seen growing interest due to:

• Rising demand for superfruit blends in smoothies and snacks
• Expansion of South American ingredient sourcing in European markets
• Increased focus on exotic fruit innovation in premium food categories
