Current Facts
Sunshine raspberries are the newest berry from Driscoll’s. They were trademarked in 2009, but did not find a place in the produce world until more recently. Gold raspberries, botanical name Rubus idaeus, are a bramble fruit of a perennial shrub within the family, Rosaceae along with strawberries and blackberries.
Description/Taste
Sunshine raspberries are a similar size and shape to the more common Red raspberries with some amazing color differences. Sunshine raspberries are a marbled mixture of both orange and red, with a very light tone. The taste is sweeter and less tart than Red raspberries.
Applications
Sunshine raspberries make a colorful contribution to glazed tarts, cheesecakes or cakes. Add them to fruit salads for a fresh burst of color. The sweeter taste is a compliment to strong cheeses and can add additional flavor to a green salad. Sunshine raspberries are very perishable, like other berries and should be consumed within a few days.
Geography/History
Raspberries are native to the Mediterranean area and North America. Sunshine raspberries are a cross between Golden and Red raspberries.
