Raspberry

Raspberries are soft, red fruits that grow on thorny shrubs. They are native to Europe and Asia but are now cultivated worldwide. Raspberries are typically harvested by hand during the summer months.

Raspberries are primarily used for their sweet and slightly tart flavour. They are commonly found in jams, desserts, yoghurts, and baked goods. Manufacturers also use them to add natural colour and flavour to a variety of food products.

Raspberries are a fruit and not a food additive. They are a source of dietary fibre and vitamin C. The UK government's Eatwell Guide recommends consuming plenty of fruit and vegetables as part of a healthy diet. There are no specific regulatory restrictions on the consumption of raspberries.
