The rich red fruits of raspberry are now in season! Raspberry’s leaves and fruits are both nutritive tonic herbs. The berries, full of juicy vitality, are a nourishing food-medicine rich in antioxidants, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins—a powerhouse of compounds and plant pigments that stimulate the immune system, nourish the blood, and protect against heart disease and cancer. Interestingly, studies reveal that raspberry’s leaves may be even higher in flavonoids and antioxidants than the richly colored fruits. They are also packed with vitamins and minerals—especially calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, manganese, and vitamins B, C, and E.

Regular consumption of raspberry leaf supports the development and care of healthy teeth, cartilage, connective tissue, and bones. It's also a traditional pregnancy tonic. Raspberry’s nutritive qualities are best delivered as an infusion or vinegar, as the minerals aren’t readily soluble in alcohol. Because raspberry leaf is astringent, it can be overly drying for people with dry skin and mucosa. Demulcent herbs, such as marshmallow (Althaea officinalis), chickweed (Stellaria media), violet (Viola sororia and V. odorata), and linden (Tilia spp.) can counteract its drying qualities.
