Atherton Raspberry (Rubus Probus)

Atherton raspberries (native rasberries) are small, tasty berries that grow in Queensland, especially in the cool areas of the Atherton Tablelands. These berries are juicy with a sweet and tangy flavour. People can eat them fresh or use them to make jams, sauces, drinks and even sweet teas!

Indigenous Australians used Atherton raspberries not only for food but also for their health benefits. The berries are full of nutrients like vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants, which help keep your body strong and healthy. They were sometimes used in special ceremonies and have cultural importance too.
