Why do they only tout red raspberries as good?!


Question: Why do they only tout red raspberries as good!?
When Black raspberries are best!. Black ones are sweeter and keep just as long!. They both are on thorny canes!. But all I ever see used is red raspberries and black berries And black berries are NOT the same as Black Raspberries!. They don't taste the same!. Makes no sense to me!. When I was a kid, we had black raspberries all the time as a dessert, absolutely delicious!. We grew both kinds but only eating the black ones!. Thank you for your answers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I agree with you that black raspberries taste much better than the red ones!. I've grown both, and the black ones don't produce as much fruit per cane as the red ones do!. The black ones aren't as big as the red ones either!. Commercial growers want berries that fill the box fast, which might explain the lack of black raspberries in the stores!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Probably because of the color!. Only strawberries can compare, so when a shopper is looking to make a colorful fruit pie, or compote, or fruit salad, The red berry is first choice!. In mixed berry pies, you can't tell the difference between berries if you use black raspberries, and blackberries!.

The shoppers decide what will sell in large grocery chains!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
