aspberries make a great snack for satisfying your
hunger and keeping you cool for the whole day.
You can make many recipes with them and also
combine them with flour and fruits and prepare delicious
cupcakes for your entire family. They are also used
as garnishing in many great Mexican recipes such as
salads, desserts, salsas and healthy smoothies. Let us
take a closer look at some of the great health benefits.
Raspberries provide fiber. They are a rich source of
vitamin C and manganese, and offer a moderate amount
of vitamin K. Raspberries have a low glycemic index,
so your body releases the energy from them slowly
throughout the day rather than giving you a sugar
rush. If you consume raspberries every morning with
your breakfast, your immune system gets fortified.
