I actually had to have a week break from them this summer as I had eaten so many of them I couldn't face them for a while.

 

That's a true story! I was very sad about it, as the season is so short.

 

The ones you get straight from the farm are left on the vine-like forbs until they are ripe. They've had longer in the sunlight, so they are much sweeter and have much more flavour.

 

Of course, you don't have to just eat these nutrient-rich berries plain, you can make lots of sweet treats with them too.
