🔍 When is it ripe?
Barberry: Small, elongated, bright red berries with sharp spines on branches. Very tart; high in vitamin C. Ripe when uniformly red. Good for jam or as a souring agent (used in Persian cooking as zereshk).
Raspberry: Deep red (or gold/yellow for golden varieties) and slides off the receptacle — the hollow centre is the tell. Does not pull: a ripe raspberry separates at a touch. Extremely fragile; use within hours of picking.
Strawberry: Uniformly red with no white or green at the tip or shoulder. Strong strawberry fragrance even from a distance. Cap leaves (calyx) are fresh and green. Completely red flesh inside when cut. Wild strawberries are smaller but more intensely flavoured.
