The sweet red raspberry with its explosion of flavor is brimming with high nutrition, fiber and anti-oxidants.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, one cup of raspberries contains only 64 calories, 14.7 grams of carbohydrates, and less than a gram of fat. Over half the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C can be found in one cup of raspberries, along with many other important vitamins and minerals. Here are some ways to incorporate raspberries into your diet: Top yogurt and cereal with fresh raspberries Top whole-grain pancakes or waffles with raspberries. Add frozen raspberries to a smoothie. Add raspberries to any salad. Stuff raspberries with dark chocolate chips for a sweet treat – our personal favorite! |
