Berries
All berries are great sources of fiber, a nutrient important for a healthy digestive system. Berries top the charts in anti-oxidant power, protecting your body against inflammation and free radicals,molecules, that can damage cells and organs.
Strawberries are distinguished by their conical heart shape as well as the texture of their skin and their flavor. All varieties of strawberries have seeds on the skin rather than skin around the seed, which distinguishes them from a berry and a true fruit. Flavors also range anywhere from sweet-tart to overtly syrup-sweet.
Raspberries are distinguished by their flavor, size, shape and their hollow core. They are an aggregate fruit with individual drupelets that are held together by very fine, nearly invisible hairs. The fruits are petite, roughly oval, plump and vary in flavor from sweet-tart to low acid depending on growing region and coloring. The hollow core is created when the raspberry is separated from its growing receptacle.
Pineberries are petite and rounded, conical berries that come to a point. They are distinguished by their white to ivory skin with pale hues of blushing pink and studs of red seeds throughout. Unlike common Red strawberries, Pineberries display aromatics and overtones of pineapple, which is a direct reference to their trademark name. Other aromatic compositions include notes of cloves, caramel and green leaves. Their texture remains true to the nature of strawberries, with a soft, juicy flesh with a melting quality.
Physalis, also known as the Cape Gooseberry or Ground-cherry, is native to Central and South America. It is related to the tomato, not at all related to the gooseberry or the Chinese gooseberry that the common name might suggest. The fruit is a small round berry, about the size of a marble, full of small seeds. It is bright yellow when ripe, and sweetsour, making it ideal for baking into pies and making jam.
Currant berries are pearl sized, candy apple red and somewhat translucent. Like their their black counterparts, Red currant berries have a taut thin glossy skin that encases a soft pulpy flesh which contains small edible seeds. When the berries' skin is pierced the fruit explodes with bright fruity aromatics and a tart piquant flavor.
Cranberries are similar to olives and artichokes in the sense that each of these fruits must be altered from their raw stage to create a product that is truly palatable for human consumption. Raw Cranberries are glossy and scarlet red in appearance, firm in texture with a bitter, starchy and tart flavor.The best fresh Cranberries are not only firm to the touch but have a bouncing quality that is actually tested during harvest. The highest quality Cranberries will bounce freely off a hardened surface.
Blueberries are delicate, petite and round. Their skin has a soft, hazy white coating, which is known as the bloom. The bloom forms a natural waterproofing and helps protect the berries from the sun and other natural elements. Blueberries have a sweet and woodsy flavor with a low acid finish when ripe.
Blackberries are characterized by their coloring, their unique composition and their flavor. Like raspberries, Blackberries are not actually a berry, rather an aggregate fruit with individual drupelets that are held together by very fine, nearly invisible hairs. When ripe, Blackberries have a deep ink sheen with purple highlights. They are succulent and soft, with a melting quality. Their flavoring is warmly sweet, slightly tart with earthy undertones.
