The Rubus chamaemorus is a herb producing amber-colored edible fruit similar to the raspberry or blackberry.
The cloudberry grows to 10–25 cm high.
The leaves alternate between having 5 and 7 soft, handlike lobes on straight, branchless stalks.
After pollination, the white flowers form raspberry-sized berries.
Each fruit is initially pale red, ripening into an amber color in early autumn.
Cloudberries are found in mountainous areas on the Northern Hemisphere:
Europe: In the Nordic countries and the Baltic states
Asia: Across northern Russia east towards the Pacific Ocean
North America: across most of northern Canada, Alaska, northern Minnesota, New Hampshire and Maine
