The cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus), also called bakeapple in Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island is a slow-growing alpine or sub-Arctic species of Rubus, producing amber-colored edible fruit. The botanical name (chamæmorus) derives from the Greek chamai ("dwarf") and morus ("mulberry"). Cloudberry is the name for both the plant and the fruit.

The cloudberry grows to 10-25 cm high. The leaves alternate between having 5 and 7 soft, handlike lobes on straight, branchless stalks. After pollination, the white (sometimes reddish-tipped) flowers form raspberry-sized berries.

Distribution and ecology

Cloudberries occur naturally throughout the Northern Hemisphere from 78°N, south to about 55°N, and very scattered south to 44°N mainly in mountainous areas. In Europe and Asia, they grow in the Nordic countries, especially in Finland; sometimes in the moorlands of Britain and Ireland, the Baltic states, and across northern Russia east to the Pacific Ocean. Small populations are also found further south, as a botanical vestige of the Ice Ages; it is found in Germany's Weser and Elbe valleys, where it is under legal protection. In North America, cloudberries grow wild across most of Canada / Alaska, and in the lower 48 states of the United States in northern Minnesota, New Hampshire, Maine, and a small population on Long Island, New York.

Ripe cloudberry

Unlike most Rubus species, the cloudberry does not self-pollinate. Pollination requires a plant of the opposite sex. Wide distribution occurs due to the opening of capsules by birds and animals and the excretion of the indigestible seeds. Further distribution arises through its rhizomes which can develop extensive berry patches. Cuttings of these taken in May or August is successful in producing a genetic clone of the parent plant.[1] Cloudberry - copied across from French Wikipedia Photograph: Denis Barthel Source: fr:Image:Chamaemorus fruit. ...

Cultivation

Despite its modern demand as a delicacy exceeding supply (particularly in Norway) the cloudberry is principally a wild plant. Wholesale prices vary widely based on the size of the yearly harvest, but can reach €10/kilo.[2]


Since the middle of the 1990s, however, the cloudberry has formed part of the "Northernberries" research project. The Norwegian government, in co-operation with Finnish, Swedish and Scottish counterparts, has vigorously pursued the aim of enabling commercial production of various wild berries (Norway imports 200 - 300 tonnes of cloudberries per year from Finland). Beginning in 2002, selected cultivars have been available to farmers, notably "Apolto" (male), "Fjellgull" (female) and "Fjordgull" (female). The cloudberry can be cultivated in Arctic areas where few other crops are possible, for example along the northern coast of Norway. A tonne or metric ton (symbol t), sometimes referred to as a metric tonne, is a measurement of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms. ... This Osteospermum Pink Whirls is a successful cultivar. ...


Uses

The ripe fruits are golden-yellow, soft and juicy, and are rich in vitamin C. When eaten fresh, cloudberries have a distinctive tart taste. When over-ripe, they have a creamy texture and flavor somewhat like yogurt. They are often made into jams, juices, tarts, and liqueurs. In Finland the berries are eaten with "Leipäjuusto" (a local cheese, the name translates to "bread-cheese"), and lots of cream and sugar. In Sweden, cloudberries are also used as ice cream or waffles topping. In Norway, they are eaten with whipped cream and lots of sugar, or in cakes that often contain marzipan. In Canada, cloudberries are used to flavour a special beer. Canadians also use them for jam, but not on the same scale as Scandinavians. In Alaska the berries are mixed with seal oil,reindeer or caribou fat (which is diced up and made fluffy with the seal oil) and sugar to make "Eskimo Ice Cream" or Agutuk.The recipes vary by region. Along the Yukon and Kuskokwim river areas white fish(pike,whitefish) along with Crisco and sugar is used.

Cloudberries (455 words)
The cloudberry is one of the smallest of this group, its single erect stem seldom exceeding eight centimeters (three inches) in height.
Cloudberry occupies a variety of moist tundra and bog habitats, often growing profusely in the company of sphagnum moss.
The cloudberries were strewn like brilliant corpuscles among green but already slightly yellow-spotted leaves, down in the grass, on the silver reindeer moss, inviting and tempting you to stoop down and gather a handful to put in your mouth, the berries taut, cool, but already filled with sweet aromatic juice.
