Fresh raspberries (Rubus idaeus) are delicate, sweet-tart berries with an exceptionally high fiber content and a diverse mixture of protective plant compounds. They are particularly rich in ellagitannins and ellagic acid, anthocyanins, pectin, and other polyphenols, along with vitamin C and manganese. Their combination of fiber and polyphenols supports digestive and gut health while contributing to cardiovascular, metabolic, and cellular health. Fresh raspberries are delicious eaten by the handful or added to breakfasts, smoothies, salads, snacks, and desserts.
