I bought some frozen mixed berries at Costco, and the package contains raspberries, blueberries, and...marion berries. They taste good, but what the heck are they?

The Marion berry is a cross between the Chehalem and Olallieberry blackberries, capturing the best attributes of both berries for an intense blackberry flavor and an aromatic bouquet. It was 1956 when the Marion berry was first introduced to the American consumer. In fact, the Marion berry was developed in the fields of Marion County and, from this birthplace, the berry got its name. (Marion County itself is named in honor of the daring “Swamp Fox” hero of the American Revolution.)
