What is another name for the Chinese Gooseberry?
"an exotic exported fruit, and is favored in breeding and cultivation programs in many countries. ""P. peruviana"" is closely related to the tomatillo and to the Chinese lantern, also members of the genus ""Physalis"". As a member of the plant family Solanaceae, it is more distantly related to a large number of edible plants, including tomato, eggplant, potato, and other members of the nightshades. Despite its name, it is not botanically related to gooseberries such as the ""Ribes"" gooseberry, Indian gooseberry, or Chinese gooseberry. ""P. peruviana"" is an annual in temperate locations, but perennial in the tropics. As a perennial,"
"Gooseberry The gooseberry ( or (American and northern British) or (southern British)), with scientific names Ribes uva-crispa (and syn. Ribes grossularia), is a species of ""Ribes"" (which also includes the currants). It is native to Europe, the Caucasus and northern Africa. The species is also sparingly naturalized in scattered locations in North America. Gooseberry bushes produce an edible fruit and are grown on both a commercial and domestic basis. Its native distribution is unclear, since it may have escaped from cultivation and become naturalized. For example, in Britain, some sources consider it to be a native, others to be an"
"Kiwifruit Kiwifruit (often abbreviated as kiwi), or Chinese gooseberry, is the edible berry of several species of woody vines in the genus ""Actinidia"". The most common cultivar group of kiwifruit ('Hayward') is oval, about the size of a large hen's egg ( in length and in diameter). It has a fibrous, dull greenish-brown skin and bright green or golden flesh with rows of tiny, black, edible seeds. The fruit has a soft texture with a sweet and unique flavour. China produced 56% of the world total of kiwifruit in 2016. The word ""kiwifruit"" and the shortened ""kiwi"" have been used"
"In 1952, MacLoughlin approached the New Zealand Fruit Federation who agreed to facilitate the shipping and marketing of the fruit to United States markets, this was New Zealand’s first export of Chinese gooseberries. Due to pioneering research into the transportability of the fruit by John Pilkington Hudson and others at the agriculture department in Wellington, this was the first international export of the kiwifruit. As the local popularity of this fruit increased, New Zealanders discarded the local Chinese name for the fruit (""yáng táo"") in favor of the name ""Chinese gooseberry"". Among the exporters was the prominent produce company Turners"

The fruits are similar but can be distinguished by small but significant differences in taste, sugar content, and content of the aminoacid betaine. The fruit has also been an ingredient in traditional Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese medicine, since at least the 3rd century CE.

William Turner describes the gooseberry in his ""Herball"", written about the middle of the 16th century, and a few years later it is mentioned in one of Thomas Tusser's quaint rhymes as an ordinary object of garden culture. Improved varieties were probably first raised by the skilful gardeners of Holland, whose name for the fruit, ""Kruisbezie"", may have been corrupted into the present English vernacular word.

The word ""goji"" is an approximation of the pronunciation of ""gǒu qǐ"" (pinyin for 枸杞), the name for the berry producing plant ""L. chinense"" in several Chinese dialects, including Hokkien and Shanghainese.
