Raspberry

Hollow, velvety and exceptionally fragile. The raspberry is the most delicate of the berries, which makes the time between harvest and delivery the single biggest factor in how it tastes.

Taste & Texture

An intensely perfumed aroma, balanced sweetness and clear acidity. The texture collapses immediately on the palate. Bright, dry, undeformed berries indicate freshness; moisture or crushing in the punnet means the fruit is tired.

How to Enjoy

• Eat fresh and unwashed — this is raspberry at its best.
• Add to yoghurt, granola and dessert plates.
• Simmer briefly with sugar for a coulis.
• Freeze for use in smoothies and sorbets.

Storage

Keep refrigerated in the original ventilated punnet and use within 2–3 days. Wash immediately before eating. For longer keeping, freeze in a single layer.

Nutrition

One of the highest-fibre fruits; contains vitamin C and anthocyanin pigments.

This is a natural agricultural product: size, colour and weight may vary by harvest and by batch.
