Raspberries in Valheim: A Meadows Bush That Takes 5 Hours to Regrow

Raspberries look like a throwaway early-game snack, but the wiki is blunt about their real value: "Raspberries are valuable in both early game as a basic food item and in mid-late game as a necessary ingredient for the early-tier Queen's jam and the Medium healing mead." They come from bushes at the edges of large open Meadows, and — as this article breaks down — the bush that gives you one regrows on a fixed timer you can actually calculate: 18,000 seconds, or 18,000 ÷ 3,600 = 5 hours.
What Raspberries Are
The wiki's infobox lists Raspberries plainly: item ID Raspberry, type Food, in-game description "Sweet and delicious." Their source is given as "Raspberry bushes in Meadows", and their listed usage spans four categories: Building, Crafting, Eating, and Taming. On the carry side, each Raspberry weighs 0.1 and stacks up to 50 per inventory slot, and the infobox flags them as teleportable: Yes. The wiki also notes they're commonly found "along the edges of large open meadows," which lines up with the bush-based source listed in the infobox.
Foraging: One Berry Per Bush, No Replanting

The Availability section is specific: "Bushes in the Meadows can be harvested for 1 Raspberries, affected by Farming (Skill)." That's one berry per harvest, per bush, with the Farming skill affecting the outcome in some way the source doesn't quantify — the wiki doesn't state a bonus percentage or yield formula, so treat "affected by Farming" as documented but not measurable from this source. What the wiki does put a number on is regrowth: bushes replenish after a listed duration of 18,000, which the wiki records in seconds. Converting that: 18,000 ÷ 3,600 = 5 hours before a harvested bush produces again. And there's a hard limit on the whole system: "There is currently no way to replant berry bushes, and if they are destroyed they will not grow back." Break a bush, and that specific Raspberry source is gone for good.
Food Stats: Health, Stamina, and the Healing Tick

Eaten on their own, Raspberries add 7 health and 20 stamina, with a listed duration of 600 — the wiki records this in seconds, so 600 ÷ 60 = 10 minutes of buff. Healing is listed at 1 hp/tick, but the source doesn't state how long a tick lasts, so the total passive healing delivered across the full 10-minute window is undocumented here — there isn't enough information in this source to multiply it out honestly. The infobox's own effect field is left blank in the source wikitext, meaning there's no additional special effect documented beyond that standard health/stamina/healing package. On the carry side, weight and stack repeat from above: 0.1 weight × 50 stack = 5.0 total weight for one full stack of Raspberries.
Building, Crafting, and Taming Uses

Under Building, the wiki lists Raspberries as a listed component in the Blue, red and white banner, the Cartography table, the Purple banner, the White and red striped banner, and the Yuleklapp (large). Under Crafting, they're a listed ingredient for Mead base: Medium healing, Mead base: Minor healing, Mead base: Minor stamina, Mead base: Tasty, Muckshake, Queen's jam, and Red firework. Under Taming, the only listed target is the Boar. None of these three lists come with quantities in this source — the wiki page names the recipes Raspberries belong to but doesn't spell out how many berries each one needs, or how fast Raspberries feed a Boar's taming progress, so those amounts are undocumented here.
Quick reference
- Sourced from bushes in the Meadows; 1 Raspberry per harvest, affected by Farming (Skill) in an unspecified way.
- Bushes regrow after 18,000 seconds — 18,000 ÷ 3,600 = 5 hours.
- No replanting exists; a destroyed bush never grows back.
- Food buff: +7 health, +20 stamina, 600 seconds (10 minutes), healing 1 hp/tick (tick length undocumented).
- Weight 0.1, stack 50, teleportable: Yes — a full stack weighs 0.1 × 50 = 5.0.
- Used in Building (5 listed recipes), Crafting (7 listed recipes), and Taming (Boar) — none with quantities listed by this source.
Running your own Valheim server
A Meadows base with its berry bushes mapped out, plus a stash of Raspberries queued for Queen's jam and Medium healing mead, is progress worth protecting. A gamever Valheim server keeps that world state — bushes, stockpiles, and all — intact for up to 10 players, with one-click backups and updates so a 5-hour regrow timer never resets to zero because of a bad restart.
Conclusion
Raspberries are a Meadows-bush food item — type Food, sourced from "Raspberry bushes in Meadows", weighing 0.1 with a 50-item stack and full teleport support. Eaten raw they add +7 health and +20 stamina for 600 seconds (10 minutes), with a 1 hp/tick healing rate whose total the wiki doesn't spell out. Bushes give 1 berry per harvest and take 18,000 seconds (5 hours) to regrow, with no way to replant a destroyed one. Beyond snacking, they feed into 5 Building recipes, 7 Crafting recipes — including Queen's jam and Medium healing mead — and Boar taming, though exact quantities for any of those aren't given by this source.
