FAMILY FEATURES
F
rom breakfasts to salads, desserts and beyond,
fruit is unique in its ability to add both flavor and
nutrition to family-favorite dishes. As you look
for ways to incorporate produce in your family’s
recipes, consider an option with a sweet-tart flavor and
eye-catching color: red raspberries.
In the cool, marine climate of the Pacific North west,
Washington state produces approxi mately 90% of the
nation’s frozen red raspberry crop. Picked at the peak
of ripeness and frozen within hours of being harvested,
flavor and nutrition are locked in to offer convenience and
consistent quality out of the freezer section at most grocery
stores, perfect for better-for-you desserts like Pecan-Topped
Raspberry Cake and Red Raspberry Whole-Fruit Sorbet.
With a distinct flavor that works well in dishes from
sweet to savory, red raspberries can add bright flavor
and balance to recipes ranging from salads like Spinach
and Frisee Salad with Raspberry Pickled Onions and
Raspberry Vinaigrette to a morning meal such as this
Raspberry Coconut Smoothie Bowl. Plus, 1 cup of the
flavorful red fruit includes just 80 calories and contains
6 grams of fiber while providing 28% of the recommended
daily allowance of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant.
