Barberries are tart fruits from the plant Berberis vulgaris. They grow in Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia.
Characteristics
[edit | edit source]Barberries are small in size and red in color.[1][2] They have a very tart flavor, on par with or greater than that of cranberries.[1][3][2]
Selection and storage
[edit | edit source]Barberries are commonly available in dried form.[4] They should be kept in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
Use
[edit | edit source]These berries are especially used in the Middle East and Central Asia, where they are popular in meat and rice dishes for adding flecks of color and tartness.[2] They can also be used in jams or syrups.[1]
Before using dried barberries, they should be soaked in hot water to rehydrate them.[2]
