salmonberries

Orange coastal drupelets

Salmonberries are the edible fruit of a shrub native to the Pacific Northwest, related to raspberries.

The berries range from yellow to orange to salmon-pink—hence the name.

They're soft, mildly sweet, and often eaten fresh or used in jams: We picked salmonberries along the trail.
