A gooseberry is a fruit that belongs to the same family as the currant. Gooseberries are small, round, and have a greenish-white color. The fruit is covered with a thin, papery skin. Gooseberries are native to Europe, Asia, and North America.

The gooseberry bush is a deciduous shrub that can grow up to six feet tall. The leaves are alternate, simple, and have serrated margins. The flowers are white and have five petals. The gooseberry fruit is borne on a stem that grows from the leaf axils. Each stem usually has two or three fruits.

Gooseberries are usually eaten raw, cooked, or made into jams and pies. The fruit is high in Vitamin C and antioxidants.
