The cloudberry, also known as nordic berry, bakeapple, knotberry, aqpik, and averin/evron, is a fruit native to cool temperate, alpine, and arctic regions.[1]
Characteristics
[edit | edit source]Much like blackberries, cloudberries are aggregated around a central core.[2] They are amber-colored, soft, juicy, tart, and high in vitamin C.[1][3] Interestingly, they become somewhat creamy when overripe.[3]
Selection and storage
[edit | edit source]Because they are only foraged from the wild, cloudberries are seasonal and pretty rare.[3] You're likely to only find them where they grow locally. Because of this, they are best stored in the freezer for use out of season.[3]
Use
[edit | edit source]Cloudberries are often made into jams,[1] juices, tarts, and liqueurs. In Finland, the berries are eaten with leipäjuusto, cream, and sugar. In Sweden, they are commonly used as a topping. In Norway, they are often mixed with whipped cream and sugar, or used to make ice cream. In Canada, cloudberries are used in pies and jams. Yup'ik peoples mix them with fat to make akutaq.[3]
