raspberries

Seedy red fruits

Raspberries are small, soft berries composed of tiny clustered drupelets, typically red but also available in black, purple, or golden varieties.

They grow on thorny canes and have a distinctive hollow core where the stem detaches.

Raspberries are eaten fresh, in jams, or as flavoring.

Separately, to blow a raspberry is to make a sputtering sound with the tongue and lips, expressing derision or contempt: The crowd blew raspberries at the referee.
