In addition to the phenomenal taste and color of the Black Raspberries they also have a lot of nutritional value. This berry is shown to have one of the highest amounts of antioxidants of both fruits and vegetables. Black Raspberries have a very high content of anthocyanins, which attributes to the characteristics of antioxidants in the Black Raspberries. Researchers are currently linking anthocyanin activity to improving vision, controlling diabetes, improving circulation, preventing cancer, and retarding the effects of aging, particularly loss of memory and motor skills.

Researchers are currently linking anthocyanin activity in Black Raspberries to improving vision, controlling diabetes, improving circulation, preventing cancer, and retarding the effects of aging, particularly loss of memory and motor skills. New research strongly suggests that a mix of preventative agents, such as those found in black raspberries, may more effectively inhibit cancer development than single agents aimed at shutting down a particular gene.
