cloudberries
Tundra's amber fruit
Cloudberries are amber-colored berries that grow in arctic and subarctic regions, prized for their tart, slightly sweet flavor.
The low-growing plants thrive in boggy terrain across Scandinavia, Canada, and northern Russia.
Cloudberries are used in jams, liqueurs, and traditional Nordic desserts: We picked cloudberries on the tundra.
