Fruit
Berberis vulgaris
A tier
Berberis vulgaris is the European barberry: tart red berry, the species behind some zereshk-adjacent uses and older European preserves. This leaf is the plant. Zereshk is usually B. integerrima in Iranian cookery—related, not always this species. Dried red barberry is the kitchen form.
