What are raspberries?
Considered by many to be the most intensely flavored member of the berry family, the raspberry is composed of many connecting drupelets (individual sections of fruit, each with its own seed) surrounding a central core.
There are three main varieties: black, golden and red. Raspberries may have been named after a 16th century French wine called raspis.
Raspberries were once called hindberries.
