berries [2]

Small fleshy fruits containing one or several usually edible seeds; when they grow together in clusters, each fruit is called a seed.

strawberry

The cultivated strawberry was bred from the smaller and more fragrant wild strawberry; it is very flavorful and is used raw or cooked, primarily in desserts.

raspberry

Generally red, there are also different-colored varieties; slightly tart and very fragrant, it makes an excellent coulis that can be incorporated into desserts.

blackberry

Grows on canes as does the raspberry, and is used like that fruit; the several trailing species are comminly called dewberries.

alkekengi

Covered in a thin, inedible membrane, it is slightly tart and not very sweet; it is often used to make jams and jellies because of its high pectin content.

cranberry

Too tart to be eaten raw, it is primarily used for making desserts, sauces or juice; a traditional accompaniment to turkey in North America.
