Gold from nature’s pantry: a diachronic study of Rubus chamaemorus L. (Rosaceae) in swedish gastronomy and economy

In 2025, there were neither enough workers nor berries, and the prices of cloudberry products have risen steeply. The cloudberry, which has enjoyed several decades of popularity both in haute cuisine and among ordinary consumers, will perhaps return to a local wild food gathered only for household needs.
