Fresh berries (mix of raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
Description
Fresh berries in a mix of raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries showcase intense colors ranging from deep navy to ruby red to juicy pink, and their flavor combines sweetness with pleasant acidity and aromatic freshness; textures vary from delicate, melting raspberries to firm blueberries to meaty strawberries with a distinct fragrance. They are low in calories, rich in vitamin C, B vitamins, manganese, fiber, and powerful antioxidants such as anthocyanins, which support immunity, heart health, have anti-inflammatory effects, and positively influence the gut microbiome and blood sugar regulation. In the kitchen, they are versatile as an addition to desserts, smoothies, yogurts, oatmeal, cakes, and compotes, as well as a fresh element in salads or sauces for cheeses and meat dishes. Store in the refrigerator in a breathable container, do not wash until use, remove moldy fruits, and consume within 2–5 days; for longer storage, freeze spread out on a baking sheet, then transfer to a sealed bag.
