Wild raspberry (Rubus idaeus), commonly called ‘red raspberry’, is also known as the ‘hindberry’ in some parts of Scotland because it is a favourite food of deer.
Smaller than the cultivated raspberry, this botanical has a fresher and sharper flavour. Wild raspberry is native to the entire Northern hemisphere. If you find enough, you can use them in the same way you’d use shop-bought raspberries. They lend themselves well to sorbets in particular. The young leaves of raspberry plants can be made into herbal teas traditionally used for their medicinal properties.
The scientific name of wild raspberry means ‘Bramble of Mount Ida’. In Greek mythology, a wild raspberry bush is said to have appeared on the slopes of Mount Ida, and its fruit quickly became highly prized by the gods of Olympus.
In the past, bramble switches were often hung above door lintels in the Highlands and Islands to ward off the evil eye.
