Gooseberries, raw

Gooseberries land an Elite 93 of 100, ranking 7th of 60 in fruits and juices, driven by vitamin C at 31% DV and dietary fiber at 15% DV, a combination that sets them apart from sweeter, less fibrous fruit in the same group.

Their tart bite makes gooseberries better suited to pies, sauces, and preserves than eating raw by the handful, though a 1 cup (150 g) serving works fine tossed into a fruit salad for anyone who likes sour notes. At 44 calories per 100 g they are light, and no limiting nutrients are flagged for this food, though the tartness itself is often reason enough to cook them down with a little sweetener.
