Raspberry Fruit (Rubus idaeus) is the dried, naturally sun-dried aggregate fruit of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Fù Pén Zǐ (覆盆子).

Its nature is sweet, slightly warm, and sour, making it a mild yet deeply restorative herb for anchoring the lower burner and harmonizing the Kidney and Liver channels.
