Wild Raspberries

Wild Raspberry, a member of the rose family, is super-common throughout the UK and can be found in open woodland, along woodland trails, and even on roadsides verges. The fruits are often smaller and less ‘plump’ than garden varieties, but they are still delicious, and very versatile in the kitchen, being used to make syrups, sauces, desserts, pies, fruit salads, smoothies, or just eaten as a they are. The leaves are also traditionally made into a nice tea that helps during pregnancy and childbirth. In our regular foraging patch, Arthur and I also find golden raspberries, a hybrid strain that produces white-yellow berries, that probably originated as a garden escape.
