Raspberries are in season in British Columbia from July through September. Here are 5 great reasons to enjoy this seasonal treat!
- Prevent Obesity: New research suggests that the phytonutrients found in raspberries increase the metabolism of fat cells, thereby decreasing the risk of both obesity and fatty liver.
- Fight Cancer: The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients found in raspberries have anti-cancer effects.
- Get More Fiber: Just 1 cup of fresh raspberries provides nearly 20% of your recommended daily fiber needs. Fiber is important for digestive health, weight management and heart health.
- Get Your Vitamins: Raspberries are particularly high in vitamins A and C, both of which promote immune and cardiovascular health.
- Snack Guilt-free: 1 cup of fresh raspberries has less than 60 calories! Use raspberries to sweeten your cereal or oatmeal, or enjoy with a few nuts for a satisfying snack anytime.
