Classmates, have you ever eaten strawberries? Needless to say, you must have eaten them, but have you ever eaten "berries" that grow on trees? Raspberries, whose scientific name is "raspberries". You may not have eaten this before.
There are many tea trees planted on the hillside behind my grandma’s house. Next to the tea trees is a large field of wild grass and wild flowers. Among the flowers and grass, there are often raspberry vines winding around. There are thorns on the vines. The red thorns look like barbs. If a person accidentally touches it, the stung area will be painful, like being stung by a wasp.
The leaves of raspberries are easy to identify. They are oval-shaped and have some small thorns on the edges, just like the leaves of roses.
In spring, as soon as the white flowers of the raspberries fall off, the green fruits are exposed. The fruit of the raspberry looks very much like, no, it is simply a miniature pineapple! After about 20 days, the color of the "pineapple" changes from green to red, and the fruit begins to swell, become loose and soft, and it is ready for picking.
There is also something special about picking raspberries. Of course, they should be bright red and big, so that they are juicy, sweet and fragrant enough. But don’t choose the ones that are so red that they turn purple, because they have started to ferment and go bad, and you can’t eat them. After selecting, gently pinch the fruit with your hands and swing it left and right, and the fruit will fall off.
Freshly picked raspberries cannot be eaten immediately. You have to go home and soak them in cold water before you can enjoy them. Because raspberries are very sweet, small insects may have crawled over them, so it is unhygienic to eat them directly. Put the washed raspberries in your mouth. You don't need to chew them. Just sip them gently and the juice will soak all over your mouth. Well, it is as sweet as a sandy watermelon, and the taste will make the tongue excited, and you will never get enough of it...
Raspberries can not only be eaten fresh, but can also be used to make juice, dried fruit, and Can be made into jam.
I think that raspberries will make more and more contributions to mankind in the future.
