Raspberries are a summer fruit grown for either the fresh fruit market or for commercial processing into individually quick frozen (IQF) fruit. They require ample sun and water for optimal development as well as soil with a pH level between 6-7.

They consist of about 86% water and an individual berry has around 55 calories. They have 6% of fiber per total weight, which is among the highest known in whole foods. Raspberries are extremely healthy due to a rich vitamin C and manganese content.
