Grossulariaceae belongs to the order Saxifragales. It is also known as Gooseberry family.
The Grossulariaceae is a small family of deciduous shrubs primarily found in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and parts of South America. It contains a single genus, Ribes, which includes about 120 species. These plants typically have lobed leaves, nodal spines or bristles, and small, often drooping flowers arranged in racemes. The fruit is a fleshy berry, sometimes spiny, and often edible.
A representative commercial example is the gooseberry (Ribes uva-crispa), cultivated for its tart, vitamin-rich berries used in jams, desserts, and beverages. Other Ribes species, such as currants, are also grown for their culinary value or ornamental appeal. The family is notable for its cold hardiness and role in temperate horticulture.
