Raspberry Picking Time

According to the Minnesota Grown organization there are several different varieties of raspberries, depending on when they bear fruit and how often, some people refer to them as summer-bearing, fall-bearing or ever-bearing raspberries. Like many berries, they contain ellagic acid, which is an antioxidant, and are also high in vitamin C. They are great eaten raw, made into jams/jellies and are often featured in scrumptious desserts.

Nothing really beats fresh raspberries but the Driscoll's site has a number of recipes.  And of course we recommend Eating Well's "healthy raspberry recipes".
