What is the name of those little "hairs" on raspberries?

Er…what the title says. :wink: And do strawberries have them too? I’m thinking they might, but then again, I could just be imagining that.

What are the little hairs on my raspberries and blackberries?

Rasphairies.

Sorry. :smiley:

Nice word play. Don’t be sorry. You got at least one doper laughing. :slight_smile:

Strawberries can have hairs. They’re usually noticeable only when they fall off and leave a little layer of stubble in the bowl you just washed the berries in. They may vary by breed; some strawberries seem to have longer ones than others. Also, not-very-fresh berries, like, say, California berries here on the East Coast, don’t seem to have them, probably because they fell off crossing the Rockies or something.
