How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other berries, raspberries have a unique texture with tiny drupelets that give them a slightly fuzzy appearance. Their flavor profile is distinctly sweet with a noticeable tartness, which can vary slightly depending on ripeness and variety. They are typically softer than blueberries and have a more pronounced seed structure than strawberries.

How to keep the rest
To keep leftover raspberries fresh, store them unwashed in their original container or a shallow, breathable container in the refrigerator. Avoid overcrowding them, as this can cause them to bruise and spoil more quickly. It is best to consume them within a few days of purchase for optimal flavor and texture.
