Sour Cherry
The sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) is a popular fruit known for its tart flavour. It belongs to the rose family (Rosaceae) and is often grown in temperate climates. In contrast to the sweet cherry, the sour cherry is smaller and is more acidic, which makes it ideal for use in jams, juices and baked goods.
Blueberry
The blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a small, dark blue fruit that is valued for its sweet and slightly sour flavour. It belongs to the heather family (Ericaceae) and grows mainly in temperate climates. Blueberries are popular all over the world and are an integral part of a health-conscious diet.
Strawberry
The strawberry (Fragaria) is a popular and widespread fruit. It belongs to the rose family (Rosaceae) and is not technically a real berry, but rather a collective fruit. The small yellow "seeds" on the surface of the strawberry are actually nutlets, while the red tissue is a thickened flower axis.
Raspberry
The raspberry (Rubus idaeus) belongs to the rose family (Rosaceae) and is native to Europe and North America; they thrive in temperate climates. Raspberries are technically not fruits themselves, rather "aggregate stone fruits," meaning each raspberry consists of many smaller individual fruits (drupes), which are grouped around a central cone. These drupes are the small, juicy balls that we see and feel when eating raspberries.
