Fresh raspberries

Fresh raspberries are small red fruits, rounded and slightly conical, known for their sweet and slightly acidic flavor that adds a refreshing touch to various culinary preparations. These delicate berries have a juicy texture and their characteristic bright color makes them very attractive in desserts, salads, smoothies, and sauces.

The origin of the raspberry dates back to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, especially Europe and North America, where it has been cultivated since ancient times. Currently, its cultivation extends to many parts of the world, adapting well to cool climates and well-drained soils.

From a nutritional point of view, fresh raspberries are an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamins (mainly vitamin C and B-complex vitamins), antioxidants, and minerals such as manganese. These properties help strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and protect cells from oxidative damage.

In different Hispanic American countries, raspberries may also be known by names such as frambuesa, frambuesilla or, in some places, simply frambuesas. However, frambuesa is the most widely used and recognized term in cooking recipes throughout the region.
