wild raspberry

Untamed red fruit

Wild raspberry refers to any of several raspberry species that grow uncultivated in forests, meadows, and disturbed areas, as distinguished from commercially bred varieties.

The berries are typically smaller and more intensely flavored than cultivated raspberries: We picked wild raspberries along the trail.

The term sometimes describes the flavor profile in wines, jams, or other foods meant to evoke that untamed, concentrated sweetness.
