- Raspberries are a high-fibre powerhouse.Rich in:

Raspberries have higher levels of ellagic acid than strawberries; ellagic acid has been shown "to be powerful antioxidant and toxic to cancer cells," says Basu. They may also be a natural treatment for arthritis, due to their high anthocyanin content. Researchers showed black raspberries, which have antioxidant, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, can also prevent colorectal tumours in animal studies.
Raspberries taste good raw; you can also add whipped cream or sugar if desired. If you have surplus, before freezing, add a few drops of lemon juice to help them maintain their colour.
