We have raspberries! Two of my three raspberry bushes have fruit. I picked a small bowl and ate them for breakfast with strawberries and a vanilla yogurt. Raspberry bushes are very harding and easy to grow in most climates. Rasberries not only are red in color, but also can be found in black, purple, and yellow colors.
One cup of raspberries contains 53.7% of the daily value for Vitamin C, 41% of the daily value for Manganese, 31.9% of the daily value for Fiber, and 11.9% of the daily value for Vitamin K. Raspberries are also a rich source of anioxidants. In addition to Vitamin C, raspberries contain flavonoids and ellagitannins.
Raspberries are highly perishable and can only be stored in a refrigerator for 1-2 days. As with blueberries, wash the fruit right before eating. They can become easily water logged or mushy.
