The gooseberry contains various bioactive compounds, including vitamins (such as vitamin C), minerals, and antioxidants like anthocyanins. These components contribute to its nutritional value and potential health benefits.
Gooseberries are used for medicinal purposes due to their cooling properties and acid juice, which was historically valued in treating fevers. They are also cultivated for their edible fruits and have been used in traditional cuisine, such as a sauce for mackerel in old French cooking.
