Raspberries are wonderful fruits, although interestingly it is not a berry at all, rather it is an aggregate fruit; all of the little nubs of a raspberry are called drupelets, together they form a raspberry but are actually individual pieces of fruit.
These delightful fruits are wonderful to enjoy in the summer when they are in their prime, the bright pinky, purpley, red coloured fruit are wonderful sources of vitamin C as well which is an added bonus if you enjoy them.
There is a lot to celebrate with Raspberries, they have been around for thousands of years, with the first official record of them being made in 4 A.D, and they are still enjoyed by people all over the world today. They deserve a little bit of recognition and celebration.
