wild berries

Uncultivated edible fruit

Wild berries are berries that grow without cultivation—foraged from forests, fields, and hedgerows rather than farmed.

The term evokes both natural abundance and potential danger, since some wild berries are edible while others are poisonous: We picked wild berries along the trail.

Wild berry also names a flavor profile in commercial products, suggesting something untamed and intensely fruity.
