The very best salad ingredients, be them veggies, cheese, meats or other items, are the essential components that when combined transform the individual items into a real salad. Alone, these items are all delicious, but when you add them together and toss them with a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-salad-dressings/chef-jen" target="_blank">delicious salad dressing</a>, a yummy salad is created.

In fact, it&#39;s the salad ingredients or toppings that distinguish one salad from another. Take the Caesar salad&nbsp;for instance and it&#39;s traditional toppings of Parmesan cheese, romaine lettuce, croutons and a garlicky dressing. Greek salads&nbsp;are the same with the likes of feta cheese, tomatoes, onions, pickled beets, peperoncini peppers, cucumbers and an olive oil-oregano dressing making these individual items combine to create something better than the sum of the original parts.

Whether you&#39;re a fan of traditional salads like the Waldorf&nbsp;or the classic cobb or just a simple garden salad with lettuce, tomato and dressing, it&#39;s safe to assume we can all agree that the ingredients make the salad. We&#39;ve all seen the salad bars stocked with a wide variety of vegetables, cheeses, meats, nuts and dressings, and just as there are endless options for salad toppings, there are endless combinations for which to create out own definition of a perfect salad.

Perhaps that flexibility and the fact that there is no wrong way to make a salad, is what makes salad a wonder food. As an added bonus, for the most part, unless you pick fatty dressings and high-calorie toppings, salads are also healthy (often rich in&nbsp;<a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/a866biroiq5A76687F576A97AAA" target="_blank">proteins and nutrients</a>). That&#39;s a double bonus if we ever saw one.

Cauliflower

Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts. The world’s plates are littered with the gross vegetables we refuse to eat. Everyone's got their own tastes, and for many of us, veggies are public enemy #1. Love carrots but hate green beans? This list of the worst vegetables is the place to make your voice heard! Vote a thumbs up for the veggies that you simply won't eat. And a thumbs down for the ones you love (asparagus, amirite?). It doesn't matter why you dislike any veggie - whether it’s because of its texture, taste or color - vote for it all the same.

Fruits come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but even some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-delicious-fruits/analise.dubner">most delicious fruits</a> are just plain weird. While it may taste amazingly sweet,&nbsp;surprisingly savory, or an odd mix of both (looking at you, Durian), the appearance of a fruit may shock your senses so much that it will be hard to take that first bite.&nbsp;Here, you'll find a list of the strangest-looking fruits from different pockets of the world - from Hawaii's beloved hala tree fruit&nbsp;to Southeast Asia's <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-tropical-fruits/ranker-food">tropical</a>&nbsp;carambola (starfruit).&nbsp;Vote up&nbsp;the ones that you find the weirdest.&nbsp;

Condiments

How do you like your salad? Just like we all have our own <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-salad-ingredients/chef-jen">favorite salad toppings and ingredients</a>, we each have that one favorite salad dressing, be it ranch, Italian, or even a sweet and tangy honey mustard. What do you reach for to pour over lettuce and other vegetables and things? This ranking of the very best salad dressings is based on personal preferences of voters, with some people preferring creamy dressings, like blue cheese and thousand island, and others opting for vinaigrettes. Whatever your favorite, we can all agree that the dressing makes the salad. Simply tossing vegetables, cheeses, meats, nuts, or fruits into a bowl starts to create a salad, but the dish is not complete&nbsp;until a favorite salad dressing is mixed in.

While many salads have specific dressings that complete the recipes, such as the garlicky Caesar or oil-based Greek dressing, once you go beyond these classic choices, the variations on the traditional salad dressing varieties are nearly endless. Ranch dressing lovers can choose from varieties with bacon, cheese and spice, among others, while Italian dressing can be creamy or oily and include secondary flavorings such as zesty seasonings and Mediterranean flavorings like feta cheese and lemon. Vinaigrettes are equally as versatile with choices like raspberry, balsamic and red wine among the most popular varieties.

What are the names of the best salad dressings? Categories are so broad, tasty, and versatile that they are not limited for use on salads. Ranch dressing and bleu cheese are especially popular as everyday condiments served alongside pizza, chicken wings, and even <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-french-fries?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">french fries</a>.&nbsp;

However you choose to enjoy your favorite salad dressings - be it as a condiment, on a sandwich, or on a simple salad - with so many choices and variations on the traditional types, it&#39;s easy to find a salad dressing to suit everyone&#39;s different tastes.

Rangpur

Some are sweet, some are sour, and some have a flavor that's wholly unique. The taste of citrus fruits has been a part of humans' diet since ancient times. Some of these delicious citrus fruits are eaten fresh&nbsp;while other popular citrus fruits taste best sprinkled with a healthy spoonful of sugar. Many good citrus fruits add a bright flavor to juices, sorbets, and pies.What citrus fruit should be named the best?&nbsp;Full of flavor and vitamin C, the orange might be your top choice. This fruit is a sweet and delicious snack, or it can be juiced to be combined with other foods for a balanced breakfast. Grapefruit is another great citrus fruit to eat first thing in the morning before heading off on a busy day. Lemons and limes are a bit too tart to enjoy on their own, but their&nbsp;acidic juice adds a delectable tang to desserts and refreshing drinks. But those are just your garden-variety citrus fruits. How do you feel about kumquats and finger limes? Or maybe the buddha's hand is your favorite citrus.It's your turn to pick the best citrus fruit on the farm. Give your favorites a thumbs up to move them up the list and add any citrus favorites that may be missing.

Lettuce

&quot;Eat your vegetables.&quot; You've probably heard this a few times in your life. But when the veggies in question are freshly sourced straight from the garden, eating them becomes a pleasure rather than a chore. Eating vegetables is a healthy habit that doesn't need to depend on the season. Different types of delicious vegetables are available year round, from summertime staples like tomatoes to cold weather favorites including pumpkins and potatoes.Which of these good garden vegetables should be named the tastiest? Tomatoes are a favorite in many home gardens and at farmer's markets. Between heirloom tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and beefsteak tomatoes, there is a variety to suit every palate. Cucumbers and carrots are also popular vegetables to grow in a home garden, and are staples in many recipes. Or maybe the best garden vegetables are the healthiest. Leafy greens like lettuce and kale are full of nutrients when they are picked and eaten straight from the garden.It's your turn to pick the top garden vegetables. Vote up the veggies that are the crunchiest, the freshest, and the most craveable, and vote down the ones that miss the mark. You can also add any great garden goods that are missing.

Plants

Have you ever paused to think about the adventures of the average food before its arrival on the shelf at your grocery store? As it turns out, you might be surprised to learn how different many common foods you eat every day look before they are harvested. Though the photos below may appear to be of exotic and weird food plants, they're actually just a collection of what super common foods look like when they’re growing on farms or out in the wild. Here you’ll find pictures of weird food plants that actually produce everything from some of your favorite <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/vegetables-that-are-technically-fruits/diet-information-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">fruits and vegetables</a> to your morning cup of coffee. For instance, did you know that pineapples don’t actually grow on trees, but on fairly short plants that can only produce one fruit at a time? Ever wonder where common nuts like cashews actually come from or what other flowers the plants they grow on also produce? The answers may shock and surprise you!Check out these fun facts that’ll make you see the world of food in a whole new light, or at least give you some super random trivia to throw out next time you’re at the grocery store with a friend.

Radicchio

Listen up, gang: It's time to get serious about the best kinds of lettuce. This is a list of several types of lettuces, ranked from the best to eat to the grossest and most useless. Are we talking about just for salads here? No bro! This lettuce is for any type of eating, like in a salad or a soup or even to wrap your protein-style cheeseburger at In-N-Out even though you also got fries and are, come on, eating a cheeseburger no matter how you dress it up. What even is lettuce? According to scientists, lettuce is an annual plant in the daisy family. Wow, so is kale even a lettuce? Not really! But it is on this list anyway. So are a bunch of other leafy <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/leafy-greens-and-salad-vegetables/diet-information-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">green vegetables</a> and also a few red / purple ones. To be honest, most of the things on this list probably aren't even actually lettuce.&nbsp;Anyway, what is the best kind of lettuce for you? Are some types of lettuces / leafy greens better for you than others? Well, the long and short answer is: no, they are pretty much all the same. Maybe kale has a little more vitamin A than iceberg lettuce, and maybe cabbage is a really good source of manganese, but unless you are an actual alpaca who only eats lettuce all day every day, those trace nutrients &amp; minerals don't really vary that much. Just be proud of yourself for choosing to eat any vegetable at all, even if it is just for one part of one meal. Now just try not to drown it in ranch dressing.Vote up your fave lettuces to eat raw or grilled, blend into juices and shakes, make your cellphone wallpaper, blog about, etc.

Vegan

Lima Beans

Protein: a buzzword in the 21st century conversation about health and nutrition, especially when it comes to weight loss. Though the concept of &quot;protein&quot; has erroneously become synonymous with &quot;meat,&quot; any person can consume more than enough protein from a plant-based diet. This is a list of good vegan sources of protein, including information about the amount of protein each vegetable has per serving. After all, you might not need to eat nearly as much protein as you think - and your quest for meat to &quot;fill you up&quot; can quickly derail your diet.&quot;How much protein do I need?&quot;&nbsp;The standard formula to determine protein needs is: body weight (in lbs.) x 0.36 = # of grams or protein per day. Therefore, a person who weighs 120 lbs. should shoot for 43g, a 150 lb. person needs 54g, a 180 lb. person should eat 64.8g, a 210 lb. person needs 75.6g, etc. As any body-conscious person knows, weight loss can only happen when the body uses more calories than it consumes. Unfortunately, meat and other-animal based products—while high in protein—are also very dense in calories. A single chicken nugget may contain 3g of protein, but it is also nearly 60 calories. On the other hand, a whole cup of Brussels sprouts contains the same amount of protein, but only 38 calories.&nbsp;Are you picturing this math? &quot;Great,&quot; you might be thinking. &quot;I can get the same amount of protein while eating less food.&quot; That is, you can eat one chicken nugget instead of eating a whole cup of Brussels sprouts. Maybe this is a bad example, because life is not all McNuggets or Brussels sprouts... Anyway, here is the real question: Do you hate food? Do you hate eating? Why would you want to eat less food? Why would anyone? Food is great! Eating food is one of the best things about being alive. If anything, you probably want to eat more food. Just as much food as you can manage to shove into your face.How can you eat MORE FOOD without destroying your body? Eat whole plant-based foods. Get your protein from nutrient-rich, low-calorie vegetables, legumes, nuts &amp; nut butters, and whole grains. &quot;But but but,&quot; you are saying, &quot;carbs!!!&quot; Well, just as &quot;protein&quot; does not mean &quot;meat,&quot; &quot;whole grains&quot; does not mean &quot;processed whole grain bread or bagels or delicious&nbsp;Triscuits.&quot; Whole grains are actual plants, like quinoa and oats and wild rice. These foods are high in fiber, which means it is easy for your body to, ahem, use the calories in them. Whole grains have protein AND&nbsp;fiber in them. So do leafy greens, beans, seeds, cruciferous vegetables, and pretty much every other edible plant under the sun. Go ahead and fill your whole plate with&nbsp;raw or steamed plants, eat them all, and then go back and get seconds. If you are still not ~full~, go get thirds. Skip the carne asada, the shawarma, and the pepperoni. You really don't need it. (Also, don't drown&nbsp;your good, healthy&nbsp;vegetarian&nbsp;proteins with ranch dressing. That is not even food, and you know it.)

Explainer

It seems reasonable to assume that juice and a balanced&nbsp;diet combined with exercise is the best way to stay fit. However, there are quite a few reasons why&nbsp;it might be a good idea to take&nbsp;juice out of the equation. Even fresh-pressed juice, while better than store bought, has its&nbsp;downside. As it turns out, there are quite a few&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-juice-cleanses/casey-cavanagh" target="_blank">surprising&nbsp;facts about juice</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/crash-diet-horror-stories/jessica-lawshe" target="_blank">negative impacts</a>&nbsp;that&nbsp;it can have on your overall health.<a href="https://sma.org/southern-medical-journal/article/variation-in-fruit-juice-consumption-among-infants-and-toddlers-associations-with-wic-participation/" target="_blank">According to a survey</a>, one&nbsp;in three&nbsp;parents&nbsp;believe that&nbsp;juice is as healthy as actual fruit is, which is&nbsp;probably the most dangerous (or juicy) myth&nbsp;out there. People think the beverage is great for them, so they consume even more of it and serve it up in heaping glasses to their children. Like&nbsp;ice cream and cookies,&nbsp;it’s okay to indulge in&nbsp;on&nbsp;occasion,&nbsp;but it really shouldn't&nbsp;be a staple in your diet. When it comes to drinking juice (and pretty much everything else), remember to&nbsp;follow the golden rule: everything in moderation.

Health

Almonds

The recipe for a classic garden salad&nbsp;starts with a bed of leafy greens. From there, though, the edible possibilities are nearly endless. There are dozens of delicious and nutritious ways to top your salad, from garnishing greens with fresh produce to sprinkling on crunchy dried nuts. Many good things for a salad are the ingredients you find at your local farmers' market, while other healthy salad toppings might be rare spices and oils.What items will you find on this list of healthy toppings for salads? For a satisfying crunch with a punch of protein, almonds are a great salad topping. Raw almonds are the most healthy – and be sure to avoid sugar-coated and dry-roasted varieties. Kidney beans are another good topping to add to a salad to keep it healthy and filling. If you have a sweet tooth, try adding fresh fruit like grapes and apples to a healthy salad. Other mouthwatering ingredients featured on this roundup of the top healthy salad toppings include avocados, chickpeas, and tofu.Do you have a favorite healthy salad topping?

Raspberry

The raspberry is the edible fruit of a multitude of plant species in the genus Rubus of the rose family, most of which are in the subgenus Idaeobatus; the name also applies to these plants themselves. Raspberries are perennial with woody stems.

Strawberry

Strawberries

Fragaria is a genus of flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae, commonly known as strawberries for their edible fruits. There are more than 20 described species and many hybrids and cultivars. The most common strawberries grown commercially are cultivars of the garden strawberry, a hybrid known as Fragaria × ananassa. Strawberries have a taste that varies by cultivar, and ranges from quite sweet to rather tart. Strawberries are an important commercial fruit crop, widely grown in all temperate regions of the world.

Blackberry

The blackberry is an edible fruit produced by many species in the genus Rubus in the family Rosaceae, hybrids among these species within the subgenus Rubus, and hybrids between the subgenera Rubus and Idaeobatus. The taxonomy of the blackberries has historically been confused because of hybridization and apomixis, so that species have often been grouped together and called species aggregates. For example, the entire subgenus Rubus has been called the Rubus fruticosus aggregate, although the species R. fruticosus is considered a synonym of R. plicatus.



Blueberry

Blueberries are perennial flowering plants with indigo-colored berries from the section Cyanococcus within the genus Vaccinium. Species in the section Cyanococcus are the most common fruits sold as "blueberries" and are native to North America.
Blueberries are usually erect, prostrate shrubs that can vary in size from 10 centimeters to 4 meters in height. In the commercial production of blueberries, the smaller species are known as "low-bush blueberries", while the larger species are known as "high-bush blueberries".
The leaves can be either deciduous or evergreen, ovate to lanceolate, and 1–8 cm long and 0.5–3.5 cm broad. The flowers are bell-shaped, white, pale pink or red, sometimes tinged greenish. The fruit is a berry 5–16 millimeters in diameter with a flared crown at the end; they are pale greenish at first, then reddish-purple, and finally dark purple when ripe. They are covered in a protective coating of powdery epicuticular wax, colloquially known as the "bloom". They have a sweet taste when mature, with variable acidity.

Grape

A grape is a fruiting berry of the deciduous woody vines of the botanical genus Vitis. Grapes can be eaten raw or they can be used for making wine, jam, juice, jelly, grape seed extract, raisins, vinegar, and grape seed oil. Grapes are a non-climacteric type of fruit, generally occurring in clusters.

Cranberry

Cranberries are a group of evergreen dwarf shrubs or trailing vines in the subgenus Oxycoccus of the genus Vaccinium. In Britain, cranberry may refer to the native species Vaccinium oxycoccos, while in North America, cranberry may refer to Vaccinium macrocarpon. Vaccinium oxycoccos is cultivated in central and northern Europe, while Vaccinium macrocarpon is cultivated throughout the northern United States, Canada and Chile. In some methods of classification, Oxycoccus is regarded as a genus in its own right. They can be found in acidic bogs throughout the cooler regions of the northern hemisphere.
Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs or vines up to 2 metres long and 5 to 20 centimetres in height; they have slender, wiry stems that are not thickly woody and have small evergreen leaves. The flowers are dark pink, with very distinct reflexed petals, leaving the style and stamens fully exposed and pointing forward. They are pollinated by bees. The fruit is a berry that is larger than the leaves of the plant; it is initially white, but turns a deep red when fully ripe. It is edible, with an acidic taste that can overwhelm its sweetness.

Boysenberry

A boysenberry is a cross between a European Raspberry, a Common Blackberry, an American Dewberry and a Loganberry.
It is a large 8.0-gram aggregate fruit, with large seeds and a deep maroon color, which changes to the typical boysenberry color when the fruit is cooked and made into jam and pie.

Currant

Ribes is a genus of about 150 species of flowering plants native throughout the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It is usually treated as the only genus in the family Grossulariaceae. Seven subgenera are recognized.
Sometimes Ribes is instead included in the family Saxifragaceae. A few taxonomists place the gooseberry species in a separate genus of Grossularia.

Lingonberry

Vaccinium vitis-idaea is a short evergreen shrub in the heath family that bears edible fruit, native to boreal forest and Arctic tundra throughout the Northern Hemisphere from Eurasia to North America. Lingonberries are a staple in Northern Scandinavia, picked in the wild and used to accompany a variety of dishes. Commercial cultivation is undertaken in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

Huckleberry

Huckleberry is a name used in North America for several plants in the family Ericaceae, in two closely related genera: Vaccinium and Gaylussacia. The huckleberry is the state fruit of Idaho.

Red Mulberry

Morus rubra, commonly known as the Red Mulberry, is a species of mulberry native to eastern North America. It is found from Ontario and Vermont in the north down to southern Florida, and west to southeast South Dakota and central Texas.
Common in the United States, it is listed as an endangered species in Canada, and is susceptible to hybridization with the invasive White Mulberry, introduced from Asia.

Gooseberry

The gooseberry, with scientific names Ribes uva-crispa, is a species of Ribes. It is native to Europe, northwestern Africa, west, south and southeast Asia. Gooseberry bushes produce an edible fruit and are grown on both a commercial and domestic basis.
Although usually placed as a subgenus within Ribes, a few taxonomists treat Grossularia as a separate genus, although hybrids between gooseberry and blackcurrant are possible. The subgenus Grossularia differs somewhat from currants, chiefly in their spiny stems, and in that their flowers grow one to three together on short stems, not in racemes. It is one of several similar species in the subgenus Grossularia; for the other related species, see the genus page Ribes.

Persimmon

Persimmons are the edible fruit of a number of species of trees in the genus Diospyros. Diospyros is in the family Ebenaceae. The most widely cultivated species is the Oriental or Japanese persimmon, Diospyros kaki. In color, the ripe fruit of the cultivated strains range from light yellow-orange to dark red-orange depending on the species and variety. They similarly vary in size from 1.5 to 9 cm in diameter, and in shape the varieties may be spherical, acorn-, or pumpkin-shaped. The calyx generally remains attached to the fruit after harvesting, but becomes easy to remove once the fruit is ripe. The ripe fruit has a high glucose content. The protein content is low, but it has a balanced protein profile. Persimmon fruits have been put to various medicinal and chemical uses.
Like the tomato, persimmons are not popularly considered to be berries, but in terms of botanical morphology the fruit is in fact a berry.

Bilberry

Bilberry is any of several primarily Eurasian species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium, bearing edible, nearly black berries. The species most often referred to is Vaccinium myrtillus L., but there are several other closely related species. Bilberries are distinct from blueberries but closely related to them.

Juniper Berry

Juniper berry

A juniper berry is the female seed cone produced by the various species of junipers. It is not a true berry but a cone with unusually fleshy and merged scales, which give it a berry-like appearance. The cones from a handful of species, especially Juniperus communis, are used as a spice, particularly in European cuisine, and also give gin its distinctive flavour. According to one FAO document, juniper berries are the only spice derived from conifers, although tar and inner bark from pine trees is sometimes considered a spice as well.

Cloudberry

Rubus chamaemorus, though not the same as the berry now called 'mulberry,' is a rhizomatous herb native to alpine and arctic tundra and boreal forest, producing amber-colored edible fruit similar to the raspberry or blackberry. English common names include cloudberry, bakeapple, knotberry and knoutberry, aqpik or low-bush salmonberry, and averin or evron.
Unlike most Rubus species, the cloudberry is dioecious, and fruit production by a female plant requires pollination from a male plant.
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 flowers form raspberry-sized berries. Encapsulating between 5 and 25 drupelets, each fruit is initially pale red, ripening into an amber color in early autumn.

Rose Hip

Rose hip

The rose hip, also known as rose haw or rose hep, is the fruit of the rose plant, that typically is red-to-orange, but ranges from dark purple to black in some species. Rose hips begin to form after successful pollination of flowers in spring or early summer, and ripen in late summer through autumn.

White Mulberry

White mulberry

Morus alba, known as white mulberry, is a short-lived, fast-growing, small to medium sized mulberry tree, which grows to 10–20 m tall. The species is native to northern China, and is widely cultivated and naturalized elsewhere. It is known as शहतूत in Hindi,Tuta in Sanskrit, Tuti in Marathi and Toot in Persian and in Armenian.
The white mulberry is widely cultivated to feed the silkworms employed in the commercial production of silk. It is also notable for the rapid release of its pollen, which is launched at over half the speed of sound.

Loganberry

The loganberry is an hexaploid hybrid produced from pollination of a plant of the octaploid blackberry cultivar 'Aughinbaugh' by a diploid red raspberry. The plant and the fruit resemble the blackberry more than the raspberry, but the fruit color is a dark red, rather than black as in blackberries. Loganberries are cultivated commercially and by gardeners.

Salmonberry

Rubus spectabilis is a species of Rubus native to the west coast of North America from west central Alaska to California.
It is a shrub growing to 1–4 m tall, with perennial, not biennial woody stems that are covered with fine prickles. The leaves are trifoliate, 7–22 cm long, the terminal leaflet larger than the two side leaflets. The leaf margins are toothed. The flowers are 2–3 cm diameter, with five purple petals; they are produced from early spring to early summer. The fruit matures in late summer to early autumn, and resembles a large yellow to orange-red raspberry 1.5–2 cm long with many drupelets.
In the Pacific Northwest of North America the berries can ripen from mid-June to late July.
Salmonberries are found in moist forests and stream margins, especially in the coastal forests. They often form large thickets, and thrive in the open spaces under stands of red alder.
In Kodiak, Alaska, orange salmonberries are often referred to as "Russian berries". Because the berries are found in abundance there and look a lot like raspberries, one of the islands in the Kodiak archipelago is named Raspberry Island. Plain salmonberries are found as far north as Kivalina, Alaska.

Thimbleberry

thimbleberry

Rubus parviflorus, commonly called thimbleberry, is a species of Rubus, native to western and northern North America, and the Great Lakes region.

Dewberry

The dewberries are a group of species in the genus Rubus, section Rubus, closely related to the blackberries. They are small trailing brambles with berries reminiscent of the raspberry, but are usually purple to black instead of red. Unlike many other Rubus species, dewberries have separate male and female plants.
Dewberries are common throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere, sometimes thought of as a nuisance weed, but the leaves can be used for a tea, and the berries are sweet and edible. They can be eaten raw, or used to make cobbler, jam, or pie.
Around March and April, the plants start to grow white flowers that develop into small green berries. The tiny green berries grow red and then a deep purple-blue as they ripen. When the berries are ripe, they are tender and difficult to pick in any quantity without squashing them. The plants do not have upright canes like some other Rubus species, but have stems that trail along the ground, putting forth new roots along the length of the stem. The stems are covered with fine spines or stickers. The berries are sweet and, for many, less seedy than blackberries and worth the scratches and stains that come from picking them.
