What it is

Raspberries are small, aggregate fruits that grow on perennial shrubs in the genus *Rubus*. They are known for their sweet, slightly tart flavor and vibrant red color. Raspberries are harvested when ripe and can be sold fresh, frozen, or processed into juices and purees.

Why it's used

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated raspberry products, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with their consumption at normal dietary levels. Evidence suggests that the antioxidants in raspberries may offer health benefits, but more research is ongoing.
