Classic red raspberries have a new cousin. These fruits exhibit a delicate yellow color and boast numerous noteworthy nutritional values. Don't miss them at the market stand!

Do you like raspberries? This will be an exciting addition to your diet. Yellow raspberries differ from the well-known red ones, not only in color. We’ll tell you what else makes these fruits unique.

Sweet and sour

How do yellow raspberries taste? This is the first question that comes to mind. These raspberries certainly stand out among other fruits. They are both sweet and sour simultaneously, yet these flavors are balanced. Thanks to the naturally present acids, these raspberries have a beautiful aroma and a slightly spicy note.

Lots of benefits

The flavor experience is slightly different, but the nutritional values of yellow and red raspberries are very similar. They are among the healthiest fruits, providing significant fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Raspberries also help lower blood sugar and are recommended to prevent diabetes and insulin resistance. Their glycemic index is low. Yellow raspberries produce fruit twice a year—in July and then from September to October—hence, they are often called autumn raspberries. There is still some time to try them.

More durable

What else sets them apart? Red raspberries are delicious but need to be eaten quickly due to their extreme delicacy and unsuitability for long-term storage. Yellow raspberries, however, can stay fresh for up to a week.

Perfect for snacks and preserves

Yellow raspberries are delicious when eaten raw and can be added to desserts or smoothies. They are also great for preserves like jams and jellies and are perfect for baking in cakes. You can comfortably buy them in larger quantities as they are more durable, better withstand transport and storage than red raspberries, and do not tend to spoil quickly.
