  • They’re also high in vitamin C, which helps support the immune system and is important for iron absorption.
  • They’re a good source of vitamin K, which is vital for blood clotting and bone health.
  • Numerous antioxidants are found in raspberries, including vitamin E, beta carotene, lutein, and lycopene.
