Raspberry

Raspberry is a delicate, hollow-centered aggregate berry made of tiny drupelets that form a conical shape. It tastes bright and tangy-sweet with a tender, seedy bite that can stain fingertips red; use fresh to top desserts and salads or cook into sauces, jams, and batters, and it is commonly sold fresh, frozen, pureed, or dried.

Cultivated from European and Asian species, raspberries spread through temperate regions and became staples in European and North American cuisines. Major commercial production comes from the Pacific Northwest and California as well as Mexico and Chile, supporting global markets.
