Nutrients and basic research
According to nutrient analyses by
the USDA, a 100 g serving of Cape gooseberries is low
in calories (53 kcal) and
contains moderate levels of vitamin C, thiamin and niacin, while other nutrients are negligible (see table).[9] Analyses
of oil from different berry components, primarily its
seeds, showed that linoleic acid and oleic acid were the
main fatty acids, beta-sitosterol and campesterol as principal phytosterols, and the oil contained vitamin K and beta-carotene.[10]
Basic research on
Cape gooseberry includes studies on polyphenols and/or carotenoids.[11]Phenolic content
varies in Cape gooseberries according to type of cultivar and time of
fruit ripening.
