Red Raspberries contain strong antioxidants such as Vitamin C, quercetin and gallic acid that fight against cancer, heart and circulatory disease and age-related decline. They are high in ellagic acid, a known chemopreventative, and have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Red raspberry ketones are currently being used in Japan as a weight loss supplement. Red raspberry seed oil is creating market interest in the cosmeceutical industry because it is rich in Vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acid and has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 24-50.

Each 5 Lb. bag of Red Raspberries is packed in it's own Styrofoam cooler with a large gel ice pack and then placed in a cardboard box for shipping.  When ordering keep in mind that if you want the red raspberries to arrive frozen you need to choose an overnight or 1 day option.  If you choose another shipping option the red raspberries will thaw some, but can be re-froze when you receive them.  We ship every Monday and Wednesday of each week all year long.  Keep in mind when ordering that there is always less thawing in the fall & winter months than in the summer months.
