Black Raspberry
Black raspberries are packed with powerful cancer fighting compounds. They contain three times the levels of antioxidants than that of blueberries. Specifically, anthocyanins, a natural phytochemical that fights free radicals and gives Black raspberries their rich, dark color. They also supply vitamins B and C, folic acid, copper, iron, and the phenolic compounds ellagic acid, gallic acid and rutin.
BLACK RASPBERRIES
Like their red cousins, Black raspberries are an aggregate fruit of individual drupelets that are held together by very fine, nearly invisible hairs. They have a hollow center and the typical conical shape but are generally smaller than other colored raspberries. Their deep purple almost black pigmentation is occasionally interspersed with a touch of red. They are often more tart than sweet, and have a slight note of earth in their flavoring.
