Frozen raspberries

Frozen raspberries are the berries of Rubus idaeus that have been harvested at their optimal ripeness and subsequently frozen to preserve their freshness, flavor, and nutritional value for a longer period. These raspberries retain a large part of their antioxidant properties and their characteristic sweet and slightly acidic flavor, making them an ideal ingredient for recipes that call for a fruity touch all year round.

The origin of the raspberry is primarily European and North American, although today it is cultivated in various temperate regions of the world. Freezing allows the fruit to be available out of season without losing its quality.

Properties: Frozen raspberries are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants such as flavonoids, and minerals like manganese. Their consumption can help strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.

In different Latin American countries, raspberries may also be known as frambuesas or, in some specific cases though less commonly, as red raspberries to differentiate them from other berries. However, there are no very distinct and common synonyms for this fruit in the region, with "frambuesa" being the most widespread and recognized term.

In cooking, frozen raspberries are perfect for preparing smoothies, desserts, sauces, jams, and also for adding to cereal mixes or yogurts, providing flavor and nutrients without the need for quick preparation or the risk of them spoiling rapidly.
