As well as being delicious and refreshing on a hot day, raspberries are also full of beneficial vitamins and minerals, including potassium, calcium and folate.
Raspberries are also thought to ease inflammatory conditions in the body, such as arthritis, by switching off the body’s inflammatory response enzymes. This is thought to be because of the anti-inflammatory anthocyanins, which is found in these berries.
Raspberries are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, quercetin (which is known to be a powerful anti-carcinogenic) and carotenoids.
