Raspberries have a hollow core, unlike other berries
Raspberries are fascinating aggregate fruits, distinguished by their hollow core formed by numerous tiny drupelets, making them easy to pick and uniquely delicate.
Raspberries are unique among berries because they have a hollow core. Each raspberry is actually a cluster of 100-150 tiny fruits called drupelets, which develop from a single flower. When picked, the central stem stays on the plant, leaving the berry with its distinctive concave center. This makes raspberries easy to harvest and contributes to their delicate texture and intense flavor. Cultivated for over 2,000 years, these delicious fruits are packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Their hollow structure also means they spoil quickly, so enjoy them fresh or frozen!
