Salmonberry Globes

Salmonberry Globes
ALAK08D-622
August 29, 2008

The work for my MS was on wild Alaskan berries, their chemistry and health-promoting properties.  So, I was lucky enough to head out to some of the wilds of Alaska, some crazy places that are way off the beaten track.  Or any track, in some cases; a few of them were accessible only by plane or boat.  But this is one of the species we were after: the salmonberry (also known as cloudberry, Rubus spectabilis) is related to the raspberry that we know down in the lower 48, but less sweet.  They were juicy berries, and this image, captured during the fall harvest, is a good example of their cream-colored flesh.  Enjoy.
