European Raspberries in Box at Outdoor Market in Eger, Hungary

The European raspberry, called rubus idaeus, grows wild in the forests. After its second year, the plant sprouts a five-petal, white flower in the late spring. During the summer and early autumn, the red, sweet yet tart and very delicious fruit ripens. Now for the best part: they are handpicked, gently placed in a box lined with wax paper and rushed to local markets in cities and towns like Eger. Makes you hungry just looking at them, doesn’t it?
