Bumper Aqpik crop in Norway

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

Millions of orange cloudberries (aqpiks) are ripening in Norway, and experts say it may be the best cloudberry season in decades.

The berries are considered a delicacy in Norway. Shops in Oslo sell them for as much as $30 a box, but prices may drop this year, given reports of the berries’ abundance.

“I’ve never seen so many cloudberries as I have this year, and I’ve lived here for 45 years,” 70-year old Else Skinnarland, a northern resident, told the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten.

Some berry lovers have reportedly picked up to 20 kg in just one day.
