History of the Raspberry

Did you know the raspberry is one of the most popular garden berries? The reason for its

popularity is the combination of its great taste and how easy it is to grow the fresh fruit. This is

good news for gardeners of any skill level.

The raspberry has a long history dating back to ancient Greece and even the legendary city of

Troy. According to history, the inhabitants of this walled city picked fresh raspberries that grew

wildly in the surrounding foothills. However, it wasn’t until decades later that this unique fruit

made its way across the ancient world. It traversed from Asia Minor east across the Roman

Empire.

Similar to the tart raspberry and other

fruits, it was the Romans that introduced

the ancient world to this delicate fruit.

The vast Roman Empire spanning from

the Black Sea to England offered the

perfect backdrop to getting the “word

out” about the raspberry. Vines can be

found many Roman towns across the

Empire. Once the raspberry took root it

found its way across the Atlantic to the New World.

However, it wasn’t until the early 1700’s that the raspberry became a mainstay fruit in the

America. The first nursery that began selling raspberry plants was started by William Prince.

Since the raspberry plant is easy to plant and care for, it soon exploded in popularity and has

since been enjoyed by countless individuals in the New World.




Varieties of the Raspberries

Raspberries can be divided into two groups. This grouping is based upon the growing season of

the raspberry. The “Ever-bearing” varieties produce fruit twice a year, once in the summer and

again in the fall. The “Summer-bearing” varieties only produce fruit in during the summer

harvest. In addition to the varieties, raspberries can also be divided into categories based upon

the color of the final fruit. These categories include red, black, purple and yellow/gold in colors.

While there are a number of different varieties the more popular varieties include:

Amity

Fall Gold

Black Hawk

Brandywine

Meeker

Latham

One of the most popular variety is the Meeker.

The reason is they are grown and harvested during the

summer months. This is the time of year, people are

really looking for fresh produce to enjoy during the

hot summer months. In addition, the Meeker is the

thimble-shaped and has high natural sugar content,

making it pleasing to both the eyes and the palate.




Natural Health Benefits of the Raspberry

The purpose of this special report is to introduce you to the health benefits and antioxidant

properties of the raspberry. Ongoing research from leading medical universities and research

organizations suggests tart raspberries may…

Provide the body with high levels of ORAC units

Helps maintain healthy weight levels*

Helps maintain healthy cardiovascular system*

Helps maintain healthy mental attitude*

Helps maintain healthy fertility*

Similar to other foods, raspberries are a natural source of antioxidants and nutrients. However,

thanks to the unique makeup and combination of the antioxidants found in raspberries is what

makes the raspberry so special. According to research, raspberries are a source of ellagic acid,

vitamin C, manganese, vitamin K, copper, Vitamin B and folic acid.




Nutritional Information on Raspberry - Raw




Nutritional Information on Raspberry - Juice




What is an Antioxidant?

An antioxidant may be defined as various substances including but not limited to (beta-carotene,

melatonin and Vitamin C). These may inhibit oxidation promoted by oxygen and antioxidants

may help protect the body from the effects of damaging free radicals.

A number of studies have repeatedly shown that maintaining high levels of antioxidants may

help to maintain a healthy body. What exactly is a free radical?

Free radicals can be defined as unstable molecules that have lost an oxygen molecule. Basically,

these unsteady molecules steal oxygen molecules from healthy cells. A real world example of the

affects of free radicals on healthy cells is the actual browning of a freshly cut apple or potato.

If you have ever noticed that after you cut an apple or a potato, the freshly cut potato or apple

starts to turn brown. What you are witnessing are the affects of free radicals on healthy cells.

Some people like to call this exposure “cellular rust”. This “rusting” of the healthy cells may be

similar to what occurs in the body. Antioxidants help the body to fight these free radicals. In

addition, you may have also heard the term ORAC?

The ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capability) measures the total antioxidant value

of different foods that are measured. The ORAC value indicates how many free radicals a

specific food can absorb and deactivate. So the higher the ORAC value, the more free radicals a

food can absorb. The higher the score, the better.

According to some nutrition experts, it is estimated the body to consumption of 3,000 to 5,000

ORAC units daily to reach significant oxygen capacity in the blood. These levels helps the body

to realize the ORAC benefits in food.




Health Benefits of the Raspberry

While the raspberry offers a number of natural health benefits what is most fascinating is the

recently published research indicating how the raspberry can help with obesity.* While research

is still ongoing, the initial findings are exciting.

Fat Loss and Raspberry Ketones*

Basically, the research suggests that our metabolism may be increased by the phytochemicals

naturally found in the raspberry. This compound is known as rheosmin, but commonly referred

to as raspberry ketones. This phytochemical may help to increase enzyme activity, heat

production and oxygen consumption* in certain type of fat cells. In addition, the ketones may

assist the pancreas release less of a fat digesting enzyme resulting in less absorption of fat and

less overall digestion.*

Diet Friendly Fruit*

A cup of fresh raspberries delivers about 8 grams of dietary fiber and 1.5 grams of protein. This

cholesterol-free is an ideal choice for dieter. One of the reasons is the generous amount of natural

fiber. One cup delivers a whooping one third of the daily recommended daily allowance of fiber.

This is good in helping elimination and support healthy weight loss. In addition, the natural sugar

also delivers a satisfy solution for the sweet tooth, too.

Promotes a Healthy Cardiovascular System*

The potassium in the raspberry may help to promote a healthy cardiovascular system and healthy

blood pressure*. The presence of potassium is an electrolyte that may help to keep the balance of

water between body fluids and cells.* It may also help to maintain a role in keeping the normal

rhythm of the beating of the heart.* However, excess potassium intake may lead to adverse heart

issues, consult your doctor.




Promotes a Healthy Mental Attitude*

The presence of Vitamin B and folic acid may help to lift your mood.* The combination of these

elements, which work together, may help with promoting a healthy mental attitude. The reason is

they are important for depression and anxiety. For example, researchers from Tufts University

found that those individuals experiencing depress had lower levels of folic acid than those with

high levels of folic acids. While research is online this is positive news for those wanting to

“look on the bright side”.

Promotes a Healthy Fertility*

Eating healthy and energetic usually helps when trying to conceive. So why not enjoy the great

taste of some raspberries. Research has shown that men enjoying foods containing vitamin C,

folate and zinc may help. One serving of raspberries is a good source of folate and vitamin C.

This is especially good news for older men looking.

Overall Healthy Lifestyle

The presence of ellagic acid helps to keep the body healthy. Ellagic acid is a phytochemical that

helps to keep the body healthy. It helps to break down and remove harmful substances from the

blood naturally. While research is still ongoing, the initial findings are exciting.
