RASPBERRY

Raspberries (Rubus idaeus) are small, sweet-tart berries that belong to the rose family. They are typically red when ripe, though some varieties can be golden, black, or purple. The fruit is made up of many tiny individual drupelets, each containing a seed, and the raspberries have a hollow core once picked, leaving a distinct shape. The surface is covered in tiny hairs, giving them a delicate, velvety appearance.

Raspberries are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, including ellagic acid, which is known for its potential health benefits. These antioxidants, along with their high vitamin content, make raspberries a nutritious choice.
