raspberry

Red drupelet cluster

A raspberry is a small, soft fruit made of clustered drupelets, typically red but sometimes black or golden.

Raspberries grow on thorny canes and are eaten fresh, in jams, or as flavoring.

A raspberry is also a rude sound made by sticking out the tongue and blowing—the noise resembles the fruit's bumpy texture.

To blow a raspberry is to make this sound, expressing mockery or contempt.
