I know cranberry, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry. But what is rubyberry? Is it a single word?

To my knowledge, it is not a berry of any kind. Can you supply a source or further context?

It is written on the bottle of a juice that I am drinking right now. It is written as "Ruby Berries" but I am wondering if it should be one single word or two words. The juice is red. But I don't know what it is even after drinking it. A kind of mixed berry juice?

How foolish I am! The ingredients are written on the bottle! It's a mix of Raspberry and Strawberry.

Ah-- so just a brand name. The correct spelling, then, is how the maker spells it.

But strangely, I can find some pictures of "Ruby Berries" on the web.

What are these?

The 'ruby' I think just refers to the color-- they are describing the berries, which I think are [url=]CURRANTS[/url].
