Default What plant is this?

Do you know if these Physalis are edible like the Physalis edulis and the
Physalis ixocarpa?


I did some homework which I should have done before asking the above
question. It is edible but not as favoured as the Physalis edulis. Also it
can be grown form saved seeds but like tomato seeds the seeds should be
fermented to save them.

I can recommend Physalis edulis, it's delicious.
