Rasp-berry or Fruit?
The Raspberry or Red Raspberry produces a tart, red fruit in summer or early autumn. Raspberries are made up of numerous druplets that exist around a central piece. Interestingly, the raspberry if used in the proper context of the botanical language is not a berry. It is actually a fruit.
