Malay Gooseberry – Phyllanthus acidus

Phyllanthus acidus, commonly known as the Malay Gooseberry or Otaheite Gooseberry, is a tropical fruit tree that is cherished for its tart, sour fruit and its hardy, fast-growing nature.

Native to Southeast Asia, this tree produces small, round, greenish-yellow fruits that resemble gooseberries and have a crisp, acidic flavor.

These fruits are often used in cooking, jams, pickles, or eaten fresh as a refreshing snack.
