Raspberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, manganese, and fiber. They are also full of anthocyanins, pigments that provide antioxidant properties and have been found to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. Raspberries are low in calories and sodium and are fat-free. Raspberries are relatively richer in most vitamins and minerals. They provide potassium, essential to heart function, and proven to lower blood pressure. The omega-3 fatty acids in raspberries can help prevent stroke and heart disease. They also contain a mineral called manganese, which is necessary for healthy bones and skin and helps regulate blood sugar.
