The berry that gave the name to the smartphone 7. List of berries - various types

Because of this, many collect in nature only the most famous gifts of nature - raspberries, strawberries, cranberries and blueberries. But there are many other tasty berries. About them tells the application for Android, called "Directory of berries".

First of all, this program was created for urban residents, who are relatively rare in nature. Now such people can keep all the information about the sweet gifts of nature at hand - right in their smartphone. Such a program can also come in handy on a hiking trip, when unknown berries are encountered along the way, which the tourist sees for the first time in his life.

The start window of the application "Directory of berries" consists of links to several sections. From here you can instantly go to the catalog of edible berries, this category is the most popular. In total, it consists of 38 types of berries. The program also tells about inedible berries, of which there are 15 species here. This list also includes poisonous berries, which usually represent a category of their own.

At the top of the window there is a button that opens a page with information about the application. The author on it mentioned the web resources from which the text was borrowed. The address of the developer's blog is also indicated here. The author of the guide also offers to evaluate his application on Google Play. In the upper part of the window there is a button with the image of a mushroom. It redirects the user to the "Mushroom Picker's Guide" program, if one is installed. If you regularly go out into nature to pick berries and mushrooms, then you definitely need both applications that skillfully complement each other.


The catalog of edible (and inedible too) berries is implemented in the best possible way. On the left is a small photograph of the berry, and on the right are the Russian and scientific names. If you click on the name, you can get the most detailed information about the selected berry.

The author tried to indicate the time of its growth for each berry, as well as give a detailed description. He did not even forget about the taste of each berry and the products that are prepared from these berries. For example, only from the application "Directory of berries" you can find out that earlier wine was created from the fruits of shadberry. The text about the use of the berry is highlighted in green. The developer also provided each type of berry with a large number of photographs. Typically four to six shots are provided. So you definitely won’t confuse one berry with another in nature.

Separately, the author also mentions the diseases that each berry is able to fight. For example, almost everyone already knows that blueberries increase blood flow to the retina. And the developer rightly notes that this does not mean at all that blueberries help improve vision in all respects. This alone speaks volumes about the usefulness of this guide. With it, you will know what diseases certain berries can cope with, as well as what vitamins they contain.

As mentioned above, the application has a separate catalog of inedible and poisonous berries. In it you can learn about the properties of euonymus, calla, raven eye, nightshade and other berries, the use of which can lead to disastrous results. In some cases, it will no longer be you who cry, but relatives at your funeral. The same raven eye, even in a minimal amount, can cause a heart attack, leading to death. The author tried to give a lot of photographs of all inedible berries and indicate their detailed description. The text about the consequences of eating the berry is highlighted in red. Sometimes this text is very scary. Previously, you could not even imagine that our wonderful forests are rich in such berries that can kill a person. I am glad that after accidentally eating an inedible berry, you can still be saved. The author indicates in detail what medical procedures a person needs in such a case. For example, after eating bittersweet nightshade, you need to wash the stomach with a suspension of activated charcoal. Indicated by the author and symptoms of poisoning.


Two catalogs - this is not the whole functionality of the application "Directory of berries". A separate section is devoted to methods of harvesting sweet fruits. But so far this section is only developing. At the moment it contains only five recipes. This is berry and raw jam, jelly, jam and marmalade. Most urban residents do not know how to create such blanks, so the section can be considered extremely useful.

The last section was called "Medical assistance". The author hopes that none of the users of the program will need it. But God saves the safe. However, the most detailed information about medical procedures is described on the pages dedicated to inedible and poisonous berries. This section mainly indicates the precautions that every berry picker must observe. If you follow them, then not a single poisonous berry will fall into your mouth. If this happened, the section will help you learn about the general signs of poisoning and first aid that must be provided in case of poisoning with berries.

This completes the functionality of the "Directory of Berries". If you are from time to time in nature in search of berries - you definitely need to install this application. The rest of the owners of smartphones based on Android are also recommended to install this program. At least read the information contained in it. Nobody knows when it might come in handy.

Green strawberry - Fragaria viridis

Synonyms. Polunitsa, meadow strawberries, meadow strawberries, steppe strawberries, hilly strawberries, coarse strawberries.

Initially, strawberries in Russia and in Russia for many centuries were called green strawberries, in which the berries have a spherical shape (hence the root of the name - "club"). But with the scientific classification of plants of the genus Strawberry in the 18th century, this name was assigned not to it, but to nutmeg strawberries, more common in Europe and in the 18th century displacing the previously cultivated green strawberries in gardens in Russia. And therefore, in order not to confuse the berries, names appeared depending on the area - "Russian Strawberry", "Forest Strawberry", "Meadow Strawberry", "Steppe Strawberry".

Origin of name. The Russian name "strawberry" comes from the old Russian word "strawberry", and they called it that because its fruits hang close to the ground. The botanical description of the plant was given by the priest, doctor, caretaker of the botanical garden in Zweibrücken Jerome Bock (Tragus) in 1553. He described two plants and named them Fragaria rubra and Fragaria candida from the Latin "fragaris" (fragrant).

Species name "strawberry" green"due to the fact that she even has fully unripe berries that are greenish-white in color, sweet and soft, with a specific taste. "Midnight" is called due to the fact that almost ripe berries are colored red on the sunny side, in shadows remain whitish (semi-red) for a long time. Since the berries are denser and harder in consistency than wild strawberries and muscat (garden) strawberries, sometimes also called "coarse". The name "Strawberry" comes from the Slavic and Old Russian word "club", meaning " spherical, round body.

Description of the plant. Perennial herbaceous plant 5-20 cm high, with a thick brown rhizome. "Moustaches" are short. Stem thin. Leaves oval or ovoid, more diamond-shaped, blunt-toothed, covered with dense hairs below. Inflorescence wrong, few-flowered. flowers bisexual, white, up to 20 mm in diameter. The petals are slightly pointed at the ends, overlapping each other with edges.

Green strawberries can be easily distinguish from wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) by leaves: the terminal (upper) tooth of the leaf of green strawberries is short and its tip is on the same line drawn between the tips of two adjacent lateral teeth or does not even reach it. In strawberries, the forest end prong is longer and rises above the neighboring ones.

Description of fruits. The fruit is a multi-nutlet, formed from a growing, fused with a calyx receptacle, in the pulp of which small nuts are immersed. Such a fruit is often called "strawberry". The fruits are spherical in shape, weighing 1-2 g, with a tight-fitting cup, when fully ripe - not tight-fitting. Color at technical maturity, pink-red with greenish-white patches, at full maturity - cherry-red. The fruits have a special fragrance. Unlike other strawberries, the fruits difficult to separate from the cup, break off with it with a characteristic silk. By consistency, the fruits are denser and more transportable than those of wild strawberries. According to the number of chromosomes: diploid (2n 14).

Distribution (range). The European part of Russia within the forest and forest-steppe zones of almost all regions, in the Crimea, in all regions of Western and Eastern Siberia, in the mountains of Central Asia; outside of Russia - in Western Europe.

Habitat. It grows in light areas - on the edges, in forest glades, in hay meadows, in abandoned agricultural lands (fields, pastures, hayfields).

Chemical composition. The fruits of green strawberries contain sugars (from 4.5 to 15%), pectin substances (from 1 to 1.7%), tannins (from 0.16 to 0.25% in leaves and up to 9.4% in rhizome ), ascorbic acid (up to 90 mg in fruits and up to 280 mg in leaves per 100 g), as well as folic, malic, citric, salicylic, quinic and other acids, carotene, essential oil, phytoncides, fiber, salts of iron, copper , manganese, zinc, chromium.

Rhizomes are also used for medicinal purposes, the drugs that are prepared from them have an astringent, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory effect. Strawberries are recommended to be used as a dietary remedy for diseases of many organs, in particular, the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Growing. Before the introduction of strawberries in Russia, Muscat green strawberries were widely cultivated in gardens and were called strawberries. After the appearance of garden strawberries (pineapple), the latter replaced it, like nutmeg strawberries. In places of growth, it is widely collected by the local population, since green strawberries are more productive, do not have a slight bitterness when making jam, freezing and drying, and are sweeter than wild strawberries.

Cooking methods (recipes).

Strawberry leaf tea. For the preparation of raw materials, the leaves should be dried in the shade. Before drying, they should be rubbed between the palms until the juice appears, and then laid out on a baking sheet, covered with a damp cloth and kept at a temperature of 26 degrees for eight hours. This is how the fermentation process takes place. When the leaves are ready, you can start brewing them. To do this, pour a small amount of this raw material into a teapot, then pour in boiling water, close the lid, and let it brew. After 15-20 minutes it can be consumed. Tea is used for urolithiasis, for some liver diseases, for anemia, for the pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, for tuberculosis, for hypertension, atherosclerosis, for cystitis, for gout and arthrosis, for deforming spondylosis. With urolithiasis, they drink it up to three glasses a day instead of regular black tea. Before preparing this drink and using it for medicinal purposes, it is recommended to consult a nephrologist.

It is customary to harvest leaves with flowers throughout the summer, it is better to collect fruits from June to July, as for the rhizome, it is dug up in early autumn, around September.

classic jam. Pour the berries with sugar in a ratio of 1: 1 and leave for 4-6 hours. During this time, the berry will release juice. Place the saucepan with the berries over medium heat and bring to a boil. From the moment of boiling, cook for five minutes. At the same time, foam is constantly removed. After that, the pan is removed from the heat and, after cooling slightly, is covered with a clean cloth. Let the jam cool completely. This will take about 10 hours. After that, put the jam on the fire again. From boiling, cook for five minutes, removing the foam. Refrigerate until completely cool. After the berries are boiled for the third time for five minutes, cool the finished jam for about an hour and, pouring into sterilized jars, cork with sterilized lids.

Jam in one go. Well-washed berries should be laid in layers in an enamel bowl. Sprinkle each layer with sugar. Sugar will be needed at the rate of 1.2 kg per kilogram of berries. Now the pot with berries must be placed in a cool place for a period of four to six hours. Let the berries give juice. The resulting mass should be boiled over low heat. During the cooking process, be sure to remove the foam and periodically shake the contents of the pan so that the jam does not burn. You need to cook until cooked in one go.

Five Minute. This method of cooking jam helps to preserve vitamins in the berry. To make jam, take no more than 2 kg of berries. Sugar needs 1.5 times more. For 1 kg of sugar, take 1 glass of water. The syrup is boiled in an enamel pan over high heat. The resulting foam is removed. Berries are poured into boiling syrup and allowed to boil for 5 minutes. Stir carefully. The fire is turned off, the pan is wrapped up so that it cools more slowly. The cooled jam is laid out in jars and the neck is tied with paper. Capron lids can be used.

Other similar and related species. Quite often in Russia, in the areas where it grows, it is called by its historical name - strawberry. However, it differs in many ways from cultivated pineapple strawberries, which appeared massively in Russia only in the 19th-20th centuries and are mistakenly called strawberries by some, although it came from virgin and Chilean strawberries, and not from nutmeg strawberries or wild strawberries.

In areas where wild strawberries do not grow (the boundaries of the growth area are shifted to the north relative to green strawberries), but at the same time green strawberries grow, sometimes the local population mistakenly takes the latter for wild strawberries.
