About Cloudberries, raw (Alaska Native)
These vibrant amber berries grow wild in the cold, marshy regions of the Arctic and sub-Arctic, particularly in Alaska, where they are prized by Indigenous communities. Resembling a cross between a raspberry and a blackberry, they have a unique tart-sweet flavor that intensifies when cooked. Rich in vitamin C and manganese, they also provide a modest amount of protein and healthy fats, making them a nutrient-dense wild food. Their low calorie and carbohydrate content, combined with zero fiber, makes them gentle on digestion while still offering antioxidant benefits.
Traditionally, they are harvested in late summer and used in a variety of ways—eaten fresh, turned into jams, jellies, and syrups, or baked into desserts like pies and tarts. In Scandinavian and Alaskan Indigenous cuisines, they are often paired with dairy in creams or served alongside game meats. Their bright, tangy flavor also works well in beverages, sauces, and even liqueurs. Due to their delicate nature and limited growing range, they remain a seasonal delicacy, celebrated for both their taste and their deep cultural roots.
