Tag: Fresh raspberries

Research from the University of Georgia has shown that frozen fruits and vegetables are often nutritionally comparable to fresh produce, and in some instances, even higher in certain vitamins. So, are frozen raspberries as healthy as fresh raspberries, and how do they stack up in terms of nutritional value, cost, and availability?

One standard cup of fresh raspberries typically weighs around 123 grams, meaning 100g of raspberries is slightly less than one full cup. This guide explains the exact conversion and highlights the factors that influence the volume, such as the state (fresh or frozen) and density of the berries.

While fresh raspberries contain a high amount of fiber—roughly 8 grams per cup—the fiber content in raspberry jam is typically much lower. The jam-making process, which includes cooking and straining, significantly impacts the final nutritional profile. This article will explore why the fiber content differs and how you can find or make a more fiber-rich option.
