One of the things I will always remember about my summer in 2015 is learning about salmon-berries.
Salmon-berries, unlike raspberries, come in different colors. Each color tastes different. There are three colors that I know of. One, yellow. Two, red. Three, dark red. My favorite color is dark red. It is the sweetest. Yellow is my least favorite color. It is the most sour.
Even if you have more of one color than another in a smoothie, the smoothie will taste the same.
The first time I ate a salmon-berry it was red and it was possibly unripe because it tasted sour. Then Mom convinced me to eat the dark red ones and I liked them!
My favorite place to pick salmon-berries is on the local bike trail and by our house. When I was picking salmon-berries on Father's Day I told my mom, "Somehow salmon-berries keep popping into my mouth." I couldn't resist eating them as we picked.
The first time we made a salmon-berry smoothie I told my mom, "This is like blood to a vampire." I loved it so much that the next time I had a salmon-berry smoothie I used four straws! I figured that would suck it in faster. But apparently, because two straws were on the side of my mouth, it just sucked air, therefore slowing the amount rather than increasing it. But two straws are can both fit in my mouth without me needing to push them in more, therefore increasing the amount that I am able to suck up.
