What are Ruhbi Red Bayberries?
RuhbiRed Bayberries are a round fruit with a soft, pebbly, waxy, exterior. The deep red colour seen on the outside of the berry matches the colour of its pulp. There is a small pip inside the middle, just like a cherry, so be aware when biting into them! When bitten into, the taste of the Ruhbi Red Bayberry is light, sweet and tangy.

When are Bayberries ready to be eaten?
Ruhbi Red Bayberries are ready to be eaten when they turn from a yellow colour to a deep red and lightly soften. They can be eaten as is, or like most berries, be cooked into meals and made into jams and sauces. In China, Red Bayberry leaves are also dried and used in making tea.
