Dried Raspberry

Dried raspberries are raspberries that have had most of their water removed through drying. This process concentrates their flavor and extends their shelf life. They are made from fresh raspberries, which are the edible fruit of the Rubus idaeus plant.

Dried raspberries are used to add a tart, fruity flavor and aroma to foods. They can be incorporated into baked goods, cereals, trail mixes, and teas. Manufacturers use them as a natural flavorant and for their visual appeal.

Dried raspberries are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of fiber and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various fruit products, but specific evaluations for dried raspberries are not widely cited. At typical consumption levels, they are considered safe and contribute to a healthy diet.
