Question for Asian members

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know what a moonberry is?

My friend is Vietnamese and she gave me a bunch. They are very dark, stained my

hands, look like mini blackberries and baked up wonderfully in sweet bread. I

have never seen these and I couldn't find them on Google.

My wife's family is chinese.  I've not heard of " moonberry " .  If it is native to

Asia, could be the yangmei.  But, these are red and a bit tart.  These are

tropical and kind of look like round red rasberries and can be dark to a purple

color.

 

If it's a nickname, could be anything. 

 

You might try this page:

And see what you find.
