What to Look For
• Ripe raspberries should appear full and round, not flattened.
• The walls of a fine berry should be plump.
• Berries should have a soft gloss but not a hazy, gray look.
• Raspberries should not have tiny dents or bruises or be broken.

Storage and Handling
• Refrigerate at 34° F – 36° F until display.
• Protect from freezing.
• Do not wash until immediately before consumption.
• Under ideal conditions, raspberries can keep for 1-3 days in home refrigerators.

Serving Suggestions
• Delicious in yogurt and shakes.
• Raspberries make excellent sauces for classic desserts.
• They are perfectly paired with anything chocolate.

Nutritional Highlights
• Raspberries are rich in Vitamin C.
• Low in calories and carbohydrates.
• Provide 10% of the RDA of folate, from folic acid, which has been associated with reducing birth defects.
• An excellent source of fiber, providing 8 grams, or 32% of the RDA per 1 cup serving.
