red raspberry

Soft crimson berry

Red raspberry is the common name for *Rubus idaeus*, a bramble plant native to Europe and North America, and its fruit—small, red, aggregate drupelets with a hollow core where the stem detaches.

The flavor is bright and slightly tart, distinct from the darker, sweeter black raspberry.

Red raspberries are eaten fresh, made into jam, or used in desserts: red raspberry vinaigrette, red raspberry filling.
