Raspberries are incredibly healthy

1. Early spring is again the time for Raspberries. Raspberries are tasty and healthy, but they are not eaten very much. The reason for this is probably mainly due to the fact that they are quite pricey. And that is actually a shame because they do have many good properties and are simply tasty. Raspberries are eaten fresh, but also often used in jams and syrup.

The fruit

1. Raspberries are very delicate and soft and actually super healthy. A study by scientists from the journal BioFactors has shown that the raspberry has many more health properties than regular fruit. This includes a medicinal substance that has not yet been found in any other foodstuff, except in some Chinese herbs. Furthermore, the raspberry is packed with vitamin C, but vitamins B2 and B6 as well as B11 (folic acid) are also present. Very important fact to mention is that raspberries contain a lot of antioxidants. Up to 10 times more than, for example, tomatoes, kiwis and broccoli. And that's not nothing. Antioxidants are very important to our body because they fight the "free radicals" that we ingest from all sides and which are a health hazard. Antioxidants have the property that they can neutralize free radicals. Do you want to know more about that? Read the article "Antioxidants and Free Radicals".
