Cultural note

Raspberries are not as ubiquitous in Chinese cuisine as in Western cultures, but they can be used in traditional medicines and are appreciated for their health benefits.

Memory tip

Imagine a berry bush with bright red raspberries (藨) growing. The character 藨 has a grass radical (艹) at the top, suggesting it's a plant, and the phonetic part (彪) sounds like 'biāo', helping you recall its pronunciation and meaning as a type of berry.
