The plant is native to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru and was widely grown in South Africa beginning in the 19th century. It is unrelated to true gooseberries of the genus  Ribes  (family Grossulariaceae). Cape gooseberries are bittersweet, slightly tart, and quite juicy. They get their name from the paper-thin cape that covers and protects the fruit inside until it ripens. The casing is green at first, fading to a light brown as the fruit ripens. If kept inside its casing, a Cape Gooseberry can keep for up to 45 days Tasting note: Sweet-tart & pineappley Hales Best Spanspek has been a favourite melon of gardeners for over 100 years.
