Add some raspberries to the shopping list...

Move over blueberries – it’s raspberries turn to brag...

One cup of raspberries has twice as much fiber as a cup of blueberries. On the antioxidant scale, raspberries outweigh strawberries, kiwis, apples and even tomatoes. Research with black raspberries has shown them to have anti-inflammatory properties and they’re good at fighting DNA damage.

In case you’re wondering – there IS a difference between blackberries and black raspberries. The plants are related but they taste a bit different. Blackberries are a little more tart than black or red raspberries. Fresh raspberries are kind of pricey at this time of year – but frozen raspberries are still a good option and have most of the nutrients as freshly picked.
