What's your favorite berry?

Mine are raspberries. But I wanna hear about all kinds or routine and exotic berries (like the superberries from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia pyramid scheme)

- Who's the rainbow guy, Indigo/purple?
  
  Edit: I wish I was berry-y enough for the Berry Club :(
- Put your text inside the brackets...like this:

- Whats the purpley thing, Indigo?
Banana
Mulberry. Australian classic. Best. Berry. In. The. World.
- Shhh don't tell them! I'll have more competition while hunting!
  
  (Btw I didn't know you guys had them too, do you have the white ones or the purple ones?)
- Ah, the origin of Pokémon's Lumberry
Watermelon
- Betchya can't eat just one?
Strawberries. Where I was a kid I looked like I had a constant rash but I was eating strawberries 24/7
- Do they actually turn you red if excessively consumed (like carrots/carotene -> orange) or did you just need a good wash?
Fav berries in no particular order are raspberries, blackberries, cranberries and blueberries
Banana. Heard they're botabically berries.
- So crazy
Wild blueberries. I love frozen fruit in general (like a healthier version of popsicles), and wild blueberries are my favorite. They're smaller and way more flavorful than normal blueberries.
- Glad that resonates with another soul, I always feel like I'm just "weird"
- Some years ago at the tail end of summer in Romania, I went for a hike in the Carpathian mountains. It was something my ex fiance organised she knew I'd love the experience.
  
  We eventually reached a mountain side camp site, and we ambled around in the clearing taking photos. We found this area covered in wild blueberry bushes, I grabbed a handful of tiny blueberries and tasted them. I've never tasted blueberries like that, they were amazing.
  
  Thank you for reminding of a beautiful memory.
Raspberry. Both the fruit and the computer.
Huckleberries.
Rubus chamaemorus or cloud berry. I had it when we stayed over night in the northern Swedish mountain and it's sweet, fruity, soft and creamy at the same time. Heaven in your mouth!
- Is it available in NA anywhere?
  
  Not sure what NA is, but it's difficult to get and only grows in the northern parts of our planet:
  
  On top of it each plant only has one berry.
Avocado. Definitely the best one.
Tayberry, it's like a better raspberry.
- Or the Marionberry, the Tayberry's tart younger cousin
- Imma need you to elaborate on that extremely provocative statement lol. Show your work, damn you
  
  big and long
Shoot am I the only one here from the Pacific Northwest USA? Our most invasive species is also the most delicious berry there is: Himalayan blackberry. Can’t be beat. Just had some blackberry jam today on a charcuterie plate
- They are soooo delicious! Whenever I'm in the PacNW I try to find some to eat. Tho' it seems like the locals just treat them like a nuisance.
Redcurrant
- What would you compare it to, closest?
  
  Black currant
Crunch
Goldenberry (gooseberry). It's like mango, passion fruit, pineapple all packed into a single berry.
Blackberries and blueberries if I'm eating them straight-up. If its berry-flavor, like in a syrup or something, its boysenberry 100%
Tomatoes
- Not gonna lie, maybe my second fave if we're getting technical. But cheese_greater HATES bananas. I'm bananas enough, ain't nobody got time for more of the same.
  
  If you're going to go with botanical definitions instead of culinary, then tomatoes would jump to the top of your list: raspberries are not actually berries; they are an aggregate fruit.
@cheese_greater @asklemmy I’m a sucker for blueberries - they’re currently in season. Either on their own or in something.
Huckleberries
- +1 for huckleberries. Especially plucked off the bush in the middle of a PNW alpine hike.
Coffee
Probably strawberry
Mint Berry Crunch
Barry Sanders
Matt Berry
- Rachel Berry
- Dave Barry
Kiwi.
I'm probably the weird one here, but I love cranberries. But not in cranberry sauce or anything. I have them in parfaits or pancakes/waffles mostly. But I frequently eat a few just plain without anything on them while I'm cooking.

I'm sensitive to sugar, so anything with more sugar in it makes me ill. But cranberries are perfect and tasty. I love the intense tang of them.
- I would enjoy swimming thru an ocean of them
Probably blueberries, fresh blueberries in pancakes, waffles, yogurt, oatmeal, etc are so good
- I don't mind blues but I always just found them kinda bland and muted. But I would eat a bunch if money was no object for the sake of variety and antioxidants :)
  
  Fresh they’re muted yeah, cooking them seems to get the flavor to activate somehow
Blackberries and blueberries over Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey, yum
- You ever try simply adding just a peach slice(s) for natural sweetness?
Dingle
- Must be edible. Im making that a rule aha
  
  Edit: in the alternative, what do you like about the taste so much?
  
  Edit: also, smile while eating ;)
  
  Not my cup of tea... But it's technically edible haha
Permanently Deleted
Dingleberries
- What do they taste like? And do you smile when eating them ;)
