It may be unfortunate that “raspberry” is a term for making a rude noise, but when it comes to the fruit, the only sounds we’re making are “mmm…good.” Raspberries are one of the most intensely flavored members of the berry family, and though we mostly see them red, they come in many colors, including purple, gold, and black.
Raspberries are also extremely healthy. They have one of the highest amounts of fiber of any berries, plus they are high in antioxidants, folic acid, and vitamin C.
