Raspberry, f111
Raspberry is a food which may rarely result in allergy symptoms in sensitised individuals
The raspberry plant is native to temperate regions of both Europe and North America. Raspberries are generally bright red, but variants can also be dark blue, yellow or white. Raspberry brambles grow wild in neglected land, hedgerows and woodland edges in many regions of the world; they are also cultivated, but not on the scale of many other fruits, because the inputs per volume are high enough to make them a luxury food.
Raspberries are eaten fresh, and the fruit is also used in pies, syrups, flavourings, jams, jellies and other preserves. A herb tea can be made from the dried leaves. The shoots and roots are also edible. Raspberries are rich in phenolic phytochemicals.The leaves and roots are said to be anti-inflammatory, astringent, decongestant, ophthalmic, oxytocic and stimulant. Teas from the leaves and roots are often taken for gynaecological problems. Externally, the tea is used as a gargle to treat tonsillitis and mouth inflammations, and as a soothing poultice for several external ailments.
