Raspberry



RASPBERRY

  • Raspberries are low in calories, but are a very rich source of dietary fiber. The large amount of Vitamin C present in them makes these berries very good antioxidants. High levels of a compound known as ellagic acid, a poly-phenol prized for its anti-carcinogenic properties is present in them.

                                                       
Best Eaten: Can be eaten raw, in fruit salads, as a puree or jam. Make a smoothie in the blender with milk or yogurt.
