There are two foods that literally make my mouth water when I look, smell, touch, or think about them. Truly uncontrollable salivating. It iskiwiandraspberries. In fact, as I look at this picture, and write this post, I can’t stop my mouth from watering. $1.88 is a good price to pay for 1 cup of fresh, very ripe raspberries in Utah. This is unfortunate, because if I could get them for less, I would buy them every week. This basket lasted about 3 minutes after we brought it home from the store. My poor husband never gets any cause they are gone before he get’s home from work.
Why should your kids eat raspberries? Here’s the deal! At very young ages, your kids are developing the building blocks to good healthy cells. At this time it is vital to supply your kids with the highest amount of vitamins and minerals. Empty calories will only compromise the process, leading to disease later in life. Calories that are nutrient dense are necessary to get the job done. Not only does raspberries have good vitamins and minerals, they go beyond what no “enriched” bread or cereal can give them. It gives them essential phytochemicals, flavonoids, and antioxidants. The phytochemical called tannin is responsible for the antioxidant activity that combats cell damage, possibly preventing unhealthy bacteria growth. In the colon it may also slow down the growth of cancer cells, and tumors. Only fruits and vegetables, rich in color, have this possiblities.
