Welcome to Frank's page of sharing knowledge. I love to learn new things and, probably because of my background in science and teaching, I also have an insatiable need to share what I have learned with others.

These are refered to as black berries on the tundra of Western Alaska. Notice the small pointy leaves of plant similar to pine needles. There is another black berry on the tundra that is larger and the plant has large flat oval leaves. That one is not popular to eat, but this one, pictured, is very popular. Every bite gives you a burst of slightly sweet, non-tart, semi-flavorless and refreshing berry juice. |

Probably the most popular tundra berry (5 gal buckets easily sell for over $200!) is locally called the salmon berry. In books I have seen it called cloud berry. It is totally different than what they call salmon berries in the lower 48. It has a somewhat strong flavor that takes some getting used to and large seeds. People seem to either like them a lot or not at all. |
