Common berries, such as [[strawberries]] (Fragaria vesca), [[red raspberries]] (Rubus idaeus) and [[blackberries]] (Rubus ursinus) used for a large number of consumer products, achieve many of the criteria to be superfruits. They are, however, commonly known in the public and have not attracted interest as novelty ingredients, so are not usually included in industry reports as superfruits.
