Pick of the Week - Raspberries

Written By David Harris - November 15 2016

Pick of the Week - Raspberries

My pick this week has to be raspberries which are just flushing in this week. The fruit is primarily from Coffs Harbour in Northern NSW. Raspberry ‘flushes’ only occur a handful of times a year so this rare opportunity should not be missed - an absolute must for the shopping list this week. They are just great for dessert or breakfast added to mangoes and the other berries. Raspberries are a top source of dietary fibre, an excellent source of vitamin C and a source of folate and vitamin E. 

HOW TO PICK
Look for brightly-coloured raspberries with plump, blemish-free skin. 

HOW TO STORE
Remove from the punnet and place unwashed on paper towel on a plate. Cover with plastic and store in refrigerator for a couple of days. Raspberries are highly perishable. Use as soon as possible and only wash just before eating.
