Berry

A berry is a small, soft-fleshed fruit with thin skin and bright hues. Flavors range from sweet to tart with a juicy burst and tender seeds; common uses include topping yogurt and cereal, baking into muffins and pies, blending into smoothies, and cooking into jams and sauces. Sold fresh, frozen, or dried, often prewashed or packed as mixes.\n\nHumans have gathered and cultivated berries across temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and the Americas for millennia. They feature prominently in Northern European and North American cooking, with modern commercial production extending through North and Latin America to support year-round supply.
