Cloudberry

/ˈklaʊdbɛri/ noun

Definition

A rare, golden-orange berry that grows in northern climates (especially Scandinavia) in boggy areas, valued for its sweet tart flavor.

Etymology

From 'cloud' plus 'berry'; possibly named for the cloudy, misty habitat where it grows high in the mountains, or for its cloud-like, pale golden appearance when ripe.

Kelly Says

Cloudberries are so sought-after that in some Nordic countries, there are laws preventing people from competing for the same berry patch—it's basically berry conservation law!
