Ripe for the Season: Why Raspberries Are a Summer Favorite
Packed with Nutrition, Bursting with Possibilities
Raspberries don’t just taste great—they’re a nutritional powerhouse perfect for health-conscious shoppers and busy families looking to add a little something extra to their daily meals. Here’s why they deserve the spotlight this summer:
- Low in sugar: Only 5.44g per cup, making them a smart pick for those watching their intake.
- High in fiber: A single cup offers 8g of dietary fiber, promoting digestion and fullness.
- Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C: These help boost immunity, combat inflammation, and protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Good for skin and brain health: With a range of beneficial plant compounds, raspberries support glowing skin and cognitive function.
Whether you’re packing school lunches, prepping for a picnic, or just looking for a better snack, raspberries check all the boxes.
