Along with its cousin the strawberry, the raspberry is perhaps the epitome of summer.Sweet but tart, delicate and vivid, raspberries are quintessential juicing fruit, suitable for use in both vegetable juice and fruit-based juices and smoothies.Boasting high levels of manganese and vitamin C, raspberries are potent antioxidants.Raspberries are particularly high in ellagic acid, a phytonutrient found in some other summer fruit, such as the strawberry.Ellagic acid is a particularly effective antioxidant, helping restrict the damaging effect of free radicals on our cells.Raspberries also contain a range of other anthocyanins which have an anti-microbial effect helping keep down the number of bacteria in the body - in the gut, for example.There is also some evidence to suggest raspberries and other deep red summer fruits have anti-carcinogenic potential and can help inhibit the growth of tumours and pre-cancerous cell growth.Unless you're buying them frozen, the raspberry season is relatively brief, so when it rolls around make sure you take full advantage and incorporate this important fruit into your juicing regime as much as possible.
