Description
Dried raspberries have an iconic sweet and tart flavor. They are similar to blackberries since both are aggregate fruits (made up of tiny clusters called drupelets). Raspberries differ from blackberries, though, in that they are hollow inside. They possess an entrancing aroma and taste exquisite. Dried raspberries can be eaten on their own, used as a topping for ice cream, or simply eaten with a little sugar and cream.
