The Crusaders wrote poems about raspberries \u201cthat delicious fruit with the heady perfume\u201d which they discovered on their way to Jerusalem.<\/li>\n<li>Cultivation began in England and France, probably in the 1600s. While in North America, raspberries were considered a luxury well into the mid-1800s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Canadian Statistics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Raspberries are members of the\u00a0Rose family. Raspberry varieties produce black, yellow and purple fruit, but it is red raspberries that form the majority of the commercial crop.<\/li>\n<li>More than 80% of Canada&#8217;s red raspberries (that\u2019s about 27 million pounds worth for anyone who\u2019s counting) are grown on just 5,000 acres in the Fraser Valley in British Columbia.<\/li>\n<li>In Ontario, commercial production is a mere 1.2 million pounds or 1.6 million tarts worth!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Health Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Raspberries have high levels of the flavonoids catechin and quercetin, anti-inflammatory compounds which have been shown protect cartilage and may have a positive affect on arthritis reduction.<\/li>\n<li>Raspberries are higher in gallic acid than many other popular berries. Gallic acid is a powerful antioxidant that may help to reduce oxidative stress which contributes to cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.<\/li>\n<li>Raspberries are high in fibre \u2013 8 g\/cup, almost double of many local and exotic fruits. A diet rich in fibre helps to maintain good digestion, heart health and glycemic control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Fun Facts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Each\u00a0raspberry\u00a0consists of around 100 individual tiny fruits, called drupelets, filled with one seed.<\/li>\n<li>Unlike many fruits, unripe raspberries do not ripen after they have been picked.<\/li>\n<li>Russia is the greatest grower of raspberries in the world. It produces 125.000 tons of raspberries per year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Recipes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This month our Verve properties throughout Canada will feature the following raspberry recipes:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/verveseniorliving.com\/news-events-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2019\/07\/Berry-Trifle-Recipe.pdf\">Mixed Berry Trifle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/verveseniorliving.com\/news-events-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2019\/07\/Duck-Conft-Raspberry-Coulis.pdf\">Duck Legs Confit with Citrus Raspberry Coulis<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Living Loving Local at Verve this Month: Raspberries While every province in Canada produces raspberries, in red, black, purple and yellow varieties, the production is just 3% that of blueberries.
