Raspberry

What it is

Raspberry is the aggregate fruit of bramble shrubs in the genus Rubus, distinct from blackberry in how the fruit detaches from its core.

What it tastes like

On the nose: sweet-floral, pear, woody, citrus. Among its measured molecules: dihydro-β-ionone, 2-heptanol, cis-3-hexenyl acetate, 2-undecanone, alpha-ionone.
