black raspberries

Dusky wild bramblefruit

Black raspberries are small, dark purple berries that grow on thorny canes native to North America.

They resemble blackberries but are hollow when picked, like other raspberries.

The flavor is distinctly tart and intense, prized for jams, pies, and ice cream: The black raspberry ice cream was the best thing on the menu.
