While, I still can savour the summer berries, tonight it is a night which we must have dessert with raspberries. Something light, fresh and quick.
USA produces approximately 13% of world's raspberries supply. It is commonly made into puree or syrup. However we should eat it fresh. The fruit has up to 20% fibre per total weight. This fruit is very expensive in Singapore and do not last long in the refrigerator after purchase.
