1. Lingonberry

Just kidding, although I’d give my pinkie toe for some lingonberry pancakes right about now

I wouldn’t decline any berry, depending on availability. Whenever I visit a cherry/strawberry/blueberry festival, that is my favorite berry 🍒🍓🫐

We had a mulberry tree/shrub in our back yard as a kid. Very nice performing hand-to-mouth harvesting. Probably ate a few bugs without realizing, but I didn’t notice.

As I’m not much on chewing gum, the teaberry gum was interesting. I found out that not everyone could appreciate that intense flavor. Remember Black Jack gum? Anise (think licorice) is very off-putting to my senses. Some people have that reaction to teaberry gum.

18. Black Currants!!!

The raw fruit is particularly rich in vitamin C and polyphenols. Blackcurrants can be eaten raw but are usually cooked in sweet or savoury dishes. They are used to make jams, preserves, and syrups and are grown commercially for the juice market. The fruit is also used to make alcoholic beverages and dyes. see Creme de Cassis.

Wild blueberries and Halle Berry are just a wee bit behind. Can’t choose cherries since they have but a single seed, so they aren’t berries.
