When are Raspberries in Season?
- Summer
- Fall
Raspberries are found in a variety of colors – red, black, purple, and yellow. Choose berries that are dry, full, firm and free of mold. Raspberries should be stored in the refrigerator and used within 1-2 days. Add raspberries to salads, yogurt, muffins, breads, sauces, and smoothies.
Fun fact: Raspberries are made up of little “drupelets”, which are the fuzzy little bits that you see on the outside of the raspberry.
