Deep, rose-red raspberries are not only delicious and naturally sweet, but they're are one of Nature's most potent superfoods. Cholesterol-free, raspberries are an excellent source of potassium, niacin, copper and vitamin C, and they're far higher in folic acid and zinc than almost any other fruit. On a calorie for calorie basis, a raspberry packs in more fiber then a fruit ten times its size. An intestinal-friendly fruit, raspberries are easily digested and contain the perfect ratio of fruit sugars for quick absorption into the bloodstream without any pesky, uncomfortable fermentation problems. In a study by researchers at the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina (Charleston), they found that the high level of ellagic acid in raspberries make them effective cancer fighters. An important phytonutrient, ellagic acid has been clinically shown to destroy cancer cells, and may also exert a protective effective by inhibiting the proliferation of certain types of cancer cells, specifically those causing esophageal, skin, colon, lung and liver cancers.

Raspberries owe their ruby color to anthocyanins, which are not only powerful pigments but also antioxidants. Anthocyanins are important soldiers in the fight against heart disease and age-related mental decline. More than that, the anthocyanins in raspberries have antimicrobial properties, and may aid in the fight against bad bacteria and fungi. Researchers in the Netherlands found that the antioxidant content of raspberries is actually ten times higher than in lycopene-rich tomatoes. Dried raspberries have an intensified flavor and it's clear they do a body very good, indeed.
