molteb\u00e6r<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh how I love to plukke b\u00e6r<\/strong> (pick berries). \u00a0Believe it or not, I refused to eat frukt<\/strong> (fruit) up until college. \u00a0It was something about the texture that I absolutely despised. \u00a0To this day, I will never understand how I went 18 years without liking frukt<\/strong>. \u00a0I drank fruktjus (fruit juice), but that\u00b4s certainly not the same as ekte frukt <\/strong>(real fruit). \u00a0In fact, isn\u00b4t it recommended now by doctors to take it easy on jus <\/strong>because there is so much sukker <\/strong>(sugar) in it?<\/p>\n

It\u00b4s a good thing I decided to force myself to eat frukt <\/strong>once I got to college. \u00a0I\u00b4m sure I became sunnere <\/strong>(healthier) after the first doses of vitamin A, B, and C. \u00a0I like almost all kinds of frukt<\/strong>. \u00a0Her finner du en liste over flere typer frukt<\/strong> (Here \u00a0\u00a0you\u00b4ll find a list of several types of fruit):<\/p>\n

banan<\/strong>-banana (that one was easy)<\/p>\n

appelsin<\/strong>-orange (not so easy, doesn\u00b4t it seem like it should be \u00b4apple\u00b4?<\/p>\n

eple<\/strong>-eple<\/p>\n

ananas<\/strong>-pineapple<\/p>\n

druer<\/strong>-grapes<\/p>\n

fersken<\/strong>-peach<\/p>\n

vannmelo<\/strong>n<\/strong>-watermelon<\/p>\n

and my personal favorites-b\u00e6r:<\/strong><\/p>\n

bringeb\u00e6r<\/strong>-raspberries<\/p>\n

jordb\u00e6r<\/strong>-strawberries<\/p>\n

bl\u00e5b\u00e6r<\/strong>-blueberries<\/p>\n

tytteb\u00e6r<\/strong>-lingonberries<\/p>\n

molteb\u00e6r<\/strong>-cloudberries<\/p>\n

kirseb\u00e6r<\/strong>-cherries<\/p>\n

kr\u00e5keb\u00e6r<\/strong>-crowberries<\/p>\n

It would not be surprising if you have not heard of kr\u00e5keb\u00e6r<\/strong> or molteb\u00e6r<\/strong> before-I sure hadn\u00b4t until I lived in Norway for the first time. \u00a0These two types of b\u00e6r are only found in the far north. \u00a0Molteb\u00e6r<\/strong> for the most part are only found north of the arctic circle and kr\u00e5keb\u00e6r<\/strong> are found in the far north, as well as the far south of South America. \u00a0I have not tried kr\u00e5keb\u00e6r<\/strong> yet, but I saw them the other day and they look kind of like bl\u00e5b\u00e6r<\/strong> except they are much darker, almost black, but roughly the same size. Molteb\u00e6r<\/strong>, on the other hand, resemble bringeb\u00e6r<\/strong>, except they are typically larger, are more orange-pink in color, and taste slightly like an eple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I was at the foot of a fjell <\/strong>(mountain) yesterday and was on a mission to plukke bl\u00e5b\u00e6r<\/strong>. \u00a0It was very unsuccessful. \u00a0Due to the cold and wet summer here in northern Norway, b\u00e6r<\/strong> have not become modne <\/strong>(ripe) yet. \u00a0Some of the bl\u00e5b\u00e6r<\/strong> that I picked looked alright, but they were not s\u00f8t<\/strong> (sweet) at all-bummer.<\/p>\n

I remember when I lived in Oslo 4 years ago, I housesat for a friend about an hour outside of Oslo in the mountains and I found gobs and gobs of ville jordb\u00e6r <\/strong>(wild strawberries). \u00a0They are tiny and bright red and deilig <\/strong>(delicious)!<\/p>\n

Hvilket b\u00e6r er ditt favoritt? <\/strong>(Which berry is your favorite?)<\/p>\n
