Description Pages
• Red raspberries are low in calories, fat, and carbohydrates.
• Raspberries are rich in Vitamin C and fiber, both of which have been shown to help reduce the risks of certain cancers.
• Raspberies contain ellagic acid, a phenolic compound shown to have anti-cancer, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. This substance is readily absorbed from raspberries
• Raspberries contain other strong antioxidants like quercetin and gallic acid that fight cancer, heart disease, and age-related decline. Their ORAC level (a measure of antioxidants) is similar to that of blueberries.
• Consumption of whole berries has been shown to be more beneficial than taking the individual phytochemicals as dietary supplements – and a lot tastier!
