Cloudberry: Scientific Name:
Rubus chamaemorus
The cloudberry, also named a bakeapple in Newfoundland Labrador, Canada starts out as pale red and ripens into an amber colour. Many people confuse the cloudberry with a salmonberry as they are very similar in looks, texture and colouring.
In Newfoundland Labrador the cloudberry grows wild and can be found in the wilderness or along side the road. This particular plant was seen on Highway 100 on the way to Cape St Mary's Ecological Reserve on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland Labrador.
The cloudberry plant can grow to be anywhere from 10 to 25 centimeters high with leaves that grow on stalks. They prefer bog, marshes or wet meadows with a fair amount of sun and can survive through very cold winters.
The cloudberry is...
... useful in many different regions throughout the world but most places make jam, juices, tarts and liqueurs out of this fruit. Canada has been known to use the cloudberry as a flavouring for a unique brand of beer. It is extremely high in Vitamin C and when picked off the plant, the flavoring is tart and when overripe it has the texture like that of yogurt.
When visiting the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland Labrador and you come across a cloudberry plant with ripe fruit, try one out. You will probably not be able to stop at just one as they are very tasty when ripened to perfection.
