Raspberries

Raspberries are small, delicate aggregate fruits belonging to the genus Rubus in the rose family (Rosaceae). They are composed of numerous tiny juice-filled drupelets clustered around a central core, giving them a unique bumpy texture and hollow center when picked. Raspberries have a distinctive sweet-tart flavor, balancing natural sugars with a refreshing tanginess. This makes them popular in both fresh consumption and culinary uses such as desserts, jams, sauces, smoothies, and baked goods.

Nutritionally, raspberries are rich in:

• Vitamin C
• Dietary fiber (very high)
• Antioxidants (especially anthocyanins)
• Vitamin K

They help improve digestion, support heart health, boost immunity, and promote healthy skin, making them a nutrient-dense and flavorful fruit choice.
