tropical berries

Warm-climate small fruits

Tropical berries are fruits that grow in warm, equatorial climates—açaí, goji, acerola, mangosteen, and similar.

The term appears frequently in marketing for smoothies, supplements, and health foods, where it evokes exotic origins and implied nutritional benefits: a tropical berry blend, tropical berries are rich in antioxidants.

Many fruits sold as tropical berries are not technically berries in the botanical sense.
