"Raspberries have 50% more cancer-fighting ellagic acid than strawberries, and double the fiber."
When camping in the forests of central Canada, first comes blue, then comes red. Late spring offers a harvest of wild blueberries, then, not long afterward, the raspberry bushes bloom with sweet, juicy little red fruit. I’ll never forget descending a portage hill, canoe on head, and being assaulted with a mouth-watering fragrance. Lifting the canoe, I saw below me an acre-sized berry batch, ripe for the picking and all to myself. An hour later, with red fingers and a very berry belly, I imagined how the native children must have loved to discover an enchanted meadow just like this.
