raspberries

Raspberries are a wonderful summer treat.  Raspberries are planted all over the US with most of them being ripe and ready between June and October. 

Raspberries contain Ellagic Acid which help prevent unwanted damage to cell membranes  in the body by neutralizing free radicals

Research in the Netherlands, published in the journal BioFactors shows that raspberries are close to 50% higher in antioxidant activity level than Strawberries, 3xs the level of kiwi’s and 10xs the antioxidant activity level of tomatoes.
