What it is

This package contains 150 grams of carefully selected raspberries, ready to be enjoyed. Their texture is soft and slightly fuzzy, with tiny seeds throughout.
How people cook with it
Raspberries are incredibly versatile in the kitchen. They can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, adding a burst of fresh flavor.
- Topping for breakfast bowls
- Ingredient in baked goods
- Garnish for desserts
- Flavoring for sauces
Gently rinse the raspberries under cool water just before you plan to use them. Pat them dry very carefully with a soft cloth or paper towel. They can be eaten fresh as a snack or added to a variety of preparations. For baking, they can be folded into batters or used as a topping. They also lend themselves well to making jams, coulis, or incorporated into fruit salads. Their bright flavor can also complement certain savory dishes, like duck or pork.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other berries like blueberries or strawberries, raspberries have a more delicate structure and a distinctively tart yet sweet taste. Their small seeds are also more noticeable. They tend to break down more easily when cooked.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers who enjoy fresh, seasonal fruit.
How to keep the rest
Store any remaining raspberries in their original container or a breathable container in the refrigerator. Avoid washing them until you are ready to use them, as moisture can encourage spoilage. It is best to consume them within a few days of purchase for optimal freshness.
