Raspberries are available year round because of the use of various growing methods.  They are grown in plastic tunnels or glass greenhouses which can be heated. But outdoor cultivation is also possible.  

The varieties available are Kwanza, Kweli, Adelita and Tulameen. 

Storage

  • In the shop: min 0°C – max 3 °C
  • Ethylene sensitivity: low
  • Ethylene production: moderate
  • At home: keep refrigerated

Raspberries are best consumed as quickly as possible after purchasing or harvesting them. Their shelf-life amounts to 1 to 2 days in a cool location, and 3 days in a refrigerator. You can prevent the fruits from bruising by spreading them across a larger surface area. It is important to keep raspberries dry and therefore unwashed. Carefully rinse them in water right before consumption.

You can also freeze raspberries, but those are only suitable as part of a recipe. Once defrosted, they will have lost part of their shape and colour.

Quality and ripeness

Raspberries are sensitive fruits, bruises can quickly cause mould. Keep this in mind when buying the fruit. Only buy raspberries that look fresh and dry.

Use

Due to their sweet taste raspberries are delicious on their own. They taste great in yoghurt, curd, jam, juice and sauces. You can also mix raspberries with other delicate fruits. Raspberries are excellent for use in cakes, pies, scones, cookies, etc.

Their refreshing sweet taste adds an original twist to the preparation of white meet, sweet and sour dishes or salads. They go very well with a salad with lettuce, cucumber and balsamic vinegar. The combination of raspberry and goats cheese is also a guaranteed success!  It is also easy to make your own raspberry vinegar by adding some raspberries to vinegar.
