I bought some cloudberries at a farmers' market in Finland.  I was quite 
disappointed with the flavor, which I found insipid.  On the other hand, 
they grow in Finland.

large yellow raspberries and their seeds is also like large raspberry

fact that they grow naturally in Canada and other Northern countries.
