But those are not going to taste any good since they are not ripe yet.
If you pick them befare they are ripe you damage the plant.
Please don’t pick berries if you don’t know what they are and if you don’t know what damage you do by picking them.
Cloudberries come from a multi-year plant. If you damage the stem like you did, it kills the plant and no berry will grow there next year.
Only pick ripe cloudberries that do not stick to the stem, please!
Yes, and you’ve ruined the plant.
You could have taken a pic of the berries, while they still are on the plant.. why you had to pick them of? Youre not sure what it is, but still have to take some… if you are new to nature, dont touch anything dammit
Yes but those are not ripe, you are damaging the plant when you pick it off with the stem.
When ripe it will be more of an Yellowy orange in color, and the leaves on the side will let go of the berry, then you can cleanly pick it off.
This is like the 25th post I’ve seen lately with someone picking unripe cloudberries asking if they’re cloudberries.
Yes! These are cloudberries, they should be orange and squishy and that information would be readily available already in this sub
Well, you didn’t know about the plant and what is done is done. At least you know now for next time. If you’re still in the area where you picked them, please throw them away there as well if you’re not planning to eat them (as they aren’t ripe). They only grow in particular places (bogs and wetlands) and by bringing the seeds back to where they were already growing might give more plants next year!

Yes, but they don’t look ripe.
If they’re ripe they’ll “fall off” the stem easily when picked and they’ll be mostly yellow.
See this example from a few days back for more comments:
