Interesting Fact
Raspberry: Naturally Packed With Plant Polyphenols
Raspberries are well known for their vivid red color, which comes from natural plant compounds called polyphenols, especially anthocyanins. These compounds are found throughout the raspberry fruit and are valued for their role in the plant’s survival and color. Because of this, raspberry-derived ingredients are often included in supplements as a source of these fruit-based antioxidants and natural flavor.
