Natural Raspberry

Raspberries are small, red, aggregate fruits that grow on thorny shrubs. They are native to Europe and northern Asia but are now cultivated worldwide. Raspberries are typically harvested by hand and can be used fresh, frozen, or dried.

Raspberries are primarily used for their distinct flavour and aroma in a wide range of food products. They are commonly found in desserts, yogurts, jams, and beverages, where they contribute a sweet and slightly tart taste. Manufacturers use them to enhance the fruit profile of products.

Raspberries are a natural fruit and not a food additive, therefore they do not have an E-number or require authorisation on the Register of Food Additive Authorisations. They are a source of fibre and vitamin C. As part of a balanced diet, consuming fruits like raspberries is generally considered beneficial for health. No specific regulatory limits are set for the consumption of whole fruits.
