Bakeapple (Rubus Chamaemorus) is anglicized from the French, "baie qu'appelle..." meaning, "what is this berry called..?", and is internationally known as a 'Cloudberry'. It is similar in appearance to a large raspberry and has what some say is a distinct honey/apricot-like flavour. The color is orange/yellow when ripe and grows one berry to a plant approximately 3-4" high. Bakeapples are members of the rose family having close relatives such as the raspberry, blackberry, nagoonberry, and thimbleberry. Bakeapples occupy a variety of moist northern tundra and peat bog habitats. These berries are extremely rich in vitamin C and contain few calories.

Crowberry (Empetrum nigrum). The crowberry, known in Newfoundland as a blackberry, is similar in appearance to a black partridgeberry or blueberry. It is a light green, mat forming shrub which grows in areas similar to that of the partridgeberry. The Inuit, of which these berries are a staple, call them, 'Fruit of the North.' Their flowers, male, female, or both sexes are purple-crimson, inconspicuous, and appear May to June. The season usually begins in July and lasts until the first snow. They are almost completely devoid of natural acid and their sweet flavor generally peaks after frost. The Dene of Slave Lake gathered these berries to relieve thirst when no water was available. Crowberries are extremely high in vitamin C, (approximately twice that of blueberries).

Squashberry (Viburnum edule), also known as the highbush cranberry or mooseberry in other parts of North America, is part of the Caprifoliaceae (Honeysuckle family). It is a decidous shrub which reaches heights ranging from 2 to 12 feet. The plant has smooth gray bark and shallowly lobed, sharply toothed leaves. Cool autumn days turn the leaves a striking red to a pink hue preceeding their fall. The autumn frosts turn the reddish berries a glistening red. The tart, clustered berries are often picked in late summer and early fall as well as after the first frost. Squashberry bark was often chewed and juice swallowed to cure such ailments as lung colds. The Haida First Nations considered these berries food for supernatural beings.

Wild Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium). There are several species of blueberries worldwide of which one, possibly two, grow in Newfoundland. These are a low-growing subshrub, anywhere from 2-24" inches in length usually forming dense, extensive colonies. They are generally found in Newfoundland's forests, coastal headlands, high moors, peaty barrens, and exposed rocky outcrops. The picking season is anywhere from mid-August to late September. Very sweet in taste they are far superior to their cultivated cousins. Wild blueberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, niacin, manganese, carbohydrates, and dietary fibre.
