One of my favorite fruits is the raspberry. Known as an aggregate fruit, meaning that smaller sections with seeds and fruit create a larger whole, raspberries have significant nutritional value - they:
1. Are a good source of vitamin C and fiber.
2. Provide folate, vitamins B2 and B3, magnesium and other essential nutrients.
3. Contain ellagitannins, natural health-protective compounds that appear to have potent anti-cancer activity.
4. Have considerable antioxidant potential (50% more than strawberries).
5. Place in the top 15 of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition's best antioxidant sources.
