small, soft, sweet berries that grow on thorny bushes and are red, black, or golden in color, often eaten fresh or in jam.
From the Old French 'raspe' (a type of berry), possibly related to Middle Dutch or German words. The '-berry' suffix indicates a small fruit.
Raspberries are one of the only fruits that are hollow inside—they're actually made up of 100+ tiny drupelets clustered together! When you pick a raspberry, the central core stays on the plant, which is why they're so delicate and expensive compared to other berries.
