Yumberry: Sweet, Tart, and Truly “Berry Delicious”
Berry delicious! 🍓✨
The Yumberry tree, native to eastern Asia, has been cultivated in China for over 2,000 years. This beautiful tree not only produces delicious crimson fruit but also adorns streets, parks, and gardens throughout the country. Originally called the Chinese bayberry, the fruit gained the name “Yumberry” in 2003 to appeal to international markets. Yumberries have a sweet-tart flavor, reminiscent of cranberry and pomegranate, making them an irresistible choice for juices and culinary applications.
