Raspberries

Date taken from stamp n front cover"Missouri raspberries are available from June through October. Most raspberries grown in Missouri are red, however, you may also find purple and black varieties. Raspberries do not ripen further after picking. So, for best quality, select fully ripe berries that are firm, plump and solid in color. Stained or leaking containers indicate raspberries that are overripe. Avoid berries showing signs of mold."--First paragraphDeveloped by: Barbara Willenberg (Coordinator, Food and Nutrition Resource Network), Karla Hughes (State Food and Nutrition Specialist), Lyn Konstant (State Food and Nutrition Specialist
