In spring and summer, we love to taste or pick raspberries. In a sweet version, this little fruit appreciated by young and old is available in mousse, smoothie, ice cream, sorbet, clafoutis or even tart. In a savory version, raspberries go well with goat cheese, salmon, duck or even chicken!
Raspberry is also perfect for flavoring your water and helping you stay hydrated when it’s very hot: in a carafe of water add 12 raspberries blackberries, 1 lemon cut into medium slices and 1 sprig of mint. Leave to infuse for two hours in the refrigerator and… enjoy this detox water!

Please note: it only works with fresh raspberries since the vitamin C level drops drastically when the raspberries are frozen… Raspberry is also hyper-rich in iron with about 0.7 mg per 100 grams; in addition, it is a good source of potassium, magnesium and calcium.
