History of the Raspberry
Did you know the raspberry is one of the most popular garden berries? The reason for its
popularity is the combination of its great taste and how easy it is to grow the fresh fruit. This is
good news for gardeners of any skill level.
The raspberry has a long history dating back to ancient Greece and even the legendary city of
Troy. According to history, the inhabitants of this walled city picked fresh raspberries that grew
wildly in the surrounding foothills. However, it wasn’t until decades later that this unique fruit
made its way across the ancient world. It traversed from Asia Minor east across the Roman
Empire.
Similar to the tart raspberry and other
fruits, it was the Romans that introduced
the ancient world to this delicate fruit.
The vast Roman Empire spanning from
the Black Sea to England offered the
perfect backdrop to getting the “word
out” about the raspberry. Vines can be
found many Roman towns across the
Empire. Once the raspberry took root it
found its way across the Atlantic to the New World.
However, it wasn’t until the early 1700’s that the raspberry became a mainstay fruit in the
America. The first nursery that began selling raspberry plants was started by William Prince.
Since the raspberry plant is easy to plant and care for, it soon exploded in popularity and has
since been enjoyed by countless individuals in the New World.

Varieties of the Raspberries
Raspberries can be divided into two groups. This grouping is based upon the growing season of
the raspberry. The “Ever-bearing” varieties produce fruit twice a year, once in the summer and
again in the fall. The “Summer-bearing” varieties only produce fruit in during the summer
harvest. In addition to the varieties, raspberries can also be divided into categories based upon
the color of the final fruit. These categories include red, black, purple and yellow/gold in colors.
While there are a number of different varieties the more popular varieties include:
 Amity
 Fall Gold
 Black Hawk
 Brandywine
 Meeker
 Latham
One of the most popular variety is the Meeker.
The reason is they are grown and harvested during the
summer months. This is the time of year, people are
really looking for fresh produce to enjoy during the
hot summer months. In addition, the Meeker is the
thimble-shaped and has high natural sugar content,
making it pleasing to both the eyes and the palate.

Natural Health Benefits of the Raspberry
The purpose of this special report is to introduce you to the health benefits and antioxidant
properties of the raspberry. Ongoing research from leading medical universities and research
organizations suggests tart raspberries may…
 Provide the body with high levels of ORAC units
 Helps maintain healthy weight levels*
 Helps maintain healthy cardiovascular system*
 Helps maintain healthy mental attitude*
 Helps maintain healthy fertility*
Similar to other foods, raspberries are a natural source of antioxidants and nutrients. However,
thanks to the unique makeup and combination of the antioxidants found in raspberries is what
makes the raspberry so special. According to research, raspberries are a source of ellagic acid,
vitamin C, manganese, vitamin K, copper, Vitamin B and folic acid.

What is an Antioxidant?
An antioxidant may be defined as various substances including but not limited to (beta-carotene,
melatonin and Vitamin C). These may inhibit oxidation promoted by oxygen and antioxidants
may help protect the body from the effects of damaging free radicals.
A number of studies have repeatedly shown that maintaining high levels of antioxidants may
help to maintain a healthy body. What exactly is a free radical?
Free radicals can be defined as unstable molecules that have lost an oxygen molecule. Basically,
these unsteady molecules steal oxygen molecules from healthy cells. A real world example of the
affects of free radicals on healthy cells is the actual browning of a freshly cut apple or potato.
If you have ever noticed that after you cut an apple or a potato, the freshly cut potato or apple
starts to turn brown. What you are witnessing are the affects of free radicals on healthy cells.
Some people like to call this exposure “cellular rust”. This “rusting” of the healthy cells may be
similar to what occurs in the body. Antioxidants help the body to fight these free radicals. In
addition, you may have also heard the term ORAC?
The ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capability) measures the total antioxidant value
of different foods that are measured. The ORAC value indicates how many free radicals a
specific food can absorb and deactivate. So the higher the ORAC value, the more free radicals a
food can absorb. The higher the score, the better.
According to some nutrition experts, it is estimated the body to consumption of 3,000 to 5,000
ORAC units daily to reach significant oxygen capacity in the blood. These levels helps the body
to realize the ORAC benefits in food.

Health Benefits of the Raspberry
While the raspberry offers a number of natural health benefits what is most fascinating is the
recently published research indicating how the raspberry can help with obesity.* While research
is still ongoing, the initial findings are exciting.
Fat Loss and Raspberry Ketones*
Basically, the research suggests that our metabolism may be increased by the phytochemicals
naturally found in the raspberry. This compound is known as rheosmin, but commonly referred
to as raspberry ketones. This phytochemical may help to increase enzyme activity, heat
production and oxygen consumption* in certain type of fat cells. In addition, the ketones may
assist the pancreas release less of a fat digesting enzyme resulting in less absorption of fat and
less overall digestion.*
Diet Friendly Fruit*
A cup of fresh raspberries delivers about 8 grams of dietary fiber and 1.5 grams of protein. This
cholesterol-free is an ideal choice for dieter. One of the reasons is the generous amount of natural
fiber. One cup delivers a whooping one third of the daily recommended daily allowance of fiber.
This is good in helping elimination and support healthy weight loss. In addition, the natural sugar
also delivers a satisfy solution for the sweet tooth, too.
Promotes a Healthy Cardiovascular System*
The potassium in the raspberry may help to promote a healthy cardiovascular system and healthy
blood pressure*. The presence of potassium is an electrolyte that may help to keep the balance of
water between body fluids and cells.* It may also help to maintain a role in keeping the normal
rhythm of the beating of the heart.* However, excess potassium intake may lead to adverse heart
issues, consult your doctor.

Promotes a Healthy Mental Attitude*
The presence of Vitamin B and folic acid may help to lift your mood.* The combination of these
elements, which work together, may help with promoting a healthy mental attitude. The reason is
they are important for depression and anxiety. For example, researchers from Tufts University
found that those individuals experiencing depress had lower levels of folic acid than those with
high levels of folic acids. While research is online this is positive news for those wanting to
“look on the bright side”.
Promotes a Healthy Fertility*
Eating healthy and energetic usually helps when trying to conceive. So why not enjoy the great
taste of some raspberries. Research has shown that men enjoying foods containing vitamin C,
folate and zinc may help. One serving of raspberries is a good source of folate and vitamin C.
This is especially good news for older men looking.
Overall Healthy Lifestyle
The presence of ellagic acid helps to keep the body healthy. Ellagic acid is a phytochemical that
helps to keep the body healthy. It helps to break down and remove harmful substances from the
blood naturally. While research is still ongoing, the initial findings are exciting.
