Our Ruhbi Red Bayberries
Ruhbi Red 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 Red Bayberry is light, sweet and tangy.
The Ruhbi Red Bayberry also referred to as the ‘Yumberry’ is a subtropical fruit native to Asian countries such as China. Our Ruhbi Red Bayberries are grown and packed in Victoria and Western Australia.
