Raspberries

Raspberries are small red berries with a characteristic sweet-tart flavor and intense aroma. They are among the most popular summer fruits and are available fresh, frozen, dried, and as jam. In the kitchen, they are used to prepare desserts, cakes, muffins, tarts, smoothies, jams, and fruit sauces. They also make an excellent garnish or component of fruit salads. They are rich in vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants, particularly polyphenols. Frozen raspberries retain their nutritional value and are available year-round. Their fresh flavor pairs beautifully with chocolate, vanilla, and citrus fruits.
