Each raspberry has a balanced set of nutritional benefits that are not always the same in each variety. So depending on where the raspberry is cultivated, one variety may have more protein or more manganese than others, for example. This is great because the raspberry will provide an adequate and balanced nutritional boost that is most likely necessary for that particular environment of cultivation.

These little fruits--when consumed over a long period of time--can also work wonders on your brain functionality. They can help with mental clarity and increased blood flow to poor functioning areas of the brain. There is also a natural dose of alcohol in raspberries that challenge your kidneys, liver and pancreas--in a healthy way of course--as a means to keep them vital and strong. And because raspberries are about 85% water based, these bad boys carry a small, but balanced amount of naturally distilled water.
So give these little guys a shot. If you eat at least a few raspberries a week, you can easily feel some of these benefits immediately. But if you start to consume them regularly, you will naturally experience many (if not all) of these benefits. Eventually the body will begin to function at a higher level and require less and less of other vitamin and mineral supplements.
Now that's a superfood.
