Fresh raspberries

Raspberries, raw

Checked by us One serving: 80 g · 41 kcal

Lots of vitamin C.

Nothing to watch so far.

Good for

How we counted this

What one serving (80 g) gives you.

Your body needs enough of each of these. Past enough, more doesn’t help. Amounts are what the food databases list, not what your body absorbs, unless a row says it was measured.

The words: “A lot” means one serving gives 20% or more of Health Canada’s daily amount, “Some” 10% to 19%, “A little” 2% to 9%, “Almost none” under 2%. Strongest word first; within a word, protein and fibre lead, then the biggest share.

A milligram (mg) is a thousandth of a gram, and a microgram (µg) a thousandth of a milligram: 1,000 µg make 1 mg.

Worth knowing

No limit applies, so none is rated.

  • Sugar

    3.5 g of sugar in a 80 g serving, natural and added together.

    Shown, not rated. The food tables we read give total sugar, and few give added sugar, so the site can’t yet tell sugar added in making a food from the sugar in fruit or milk.

Noted for context, or not measured in this food yet.

  • Measured in this food, not rated yet. Not rated: the reference is INORGANIC arsenic (EFSA 2024 benchmark dose lower limit (BMDL05) 0.06 µg/kg body weight/day; average 7.7 µg/day, seed) and the source gives TOTAL arsenic only. Stated worst case only, assuming 100% inorganic (not true of fruit): 80 g = 0.52 µg = 7% of 7.7 µg/day.

  • Shown as context, not rated: Cyclospora was not detected in any of 195 imported fresh raspberry samples in a CFIA targeted survey (April 2017 to March 2022); 99.9% of all samples tested were satisfactory.

  • Shown as context, not rated: in a CFIA retail survey of 4,218 fresh and frozen berry and pomegranate-aril samples (2016-2021), norovirus GI RNA was found in 1 fresh raspberry sample and no hepatitis A RNA in any sample. Overall prevalence was 0.36%, with no significant difference between fruit types, and the raspberry sample count is not in the abstract. The hepatitis A outbreak records (2016 frozen berry blend, 2022 strawberries) are on other berries, not raspberries.

  • Context only, never scored. 177 of 260 screened samples carried a residue. Violations: cypermethrin on imports, 30 positives of 145 samples with 5 above the Canadian limit (2016-17 to 2021-22); other analytes in the pack list (acetamiprid 17, spinosyns 17, spinetoram 15, bifenthrin 15 and 11, captan 13 and 13 positives) show no violations in the lines read. No acceptable daily intake (ADI) arithmetic done.

Better options

How we counted this

“Better” here always means better at something the row names: more of one nutrient, more nutrients per serving, or the goal you pick. It never means better in every way.

Every amount below is for the same weight, 80 g, the size of one serving of this food, so a swap compares like with like. A serving of another food can be bigger or smaller.

Compared with the other fruits we’ve checked.

A food is listed only if it gives clearly more: at least a fifth more than this food, and at least 10% of the daily amount more.

More of what it’s good for

More vitamin C

Amounts as listed, not adjusted for how much gets in.

More nutrients per serving, counted together

The other fruits we’ve checked with more nutrients per serving than this one, counting at most 100 kcal. One score ranks them all, so the same few often lead.

  • Kiwi, raw
    • More vitamin C (59.8 mg vs 18.4 mg)
    • More vitamin K1 (32.2 µg vs 6.24 µg)
  • Mango, raw
    • More vitamin C (29.1 mg vs 18.4 mg)
    • Less fibre (1.28 g vs 5.2 g)
  • Pineapple, raw
    • More vitamin C (46.9 mg vs 18.4 mg)
    • Less fibre (0.75 g vs 5.2 g)

Where the calcium card measured that less calcium gets in than from milk, calcium counts for less; everything else is as listed.

Your goal

Your goal changes only this list, not what the food gives you or what to watch.

None of the 20 other fruits we could compare gives clearly more nutrients, protein and fibre per calorie.

How the serving was set: 80 g (Health Canada TRA J.2, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

Listed nutrients, per 100 g

For each nutrient, the value this page uses is marked “used”. A row marked “second database” is another database’s figure for a matching food, kept so you can see how far databases disagree (they can differ in the samples analysed, lab methods and rounding). Its own cells are worked out from it, but none of the page’s words or scores are.

Body map 2026-10-25.1: each nutrient’s job comes from an agency fact sheet, linked beside it under Good for.

The plain words: “a lot” means one serving (100 g when the food has no serving size) gives at least 20% of the daily amount (the reference intake), “some” at least 10%, “a little” at least 2% (the cut-offs are ours, one set for every page: 20% and 10% are borrowed from the US labelling terms “high” and “good source” and applied to Health Canada’s daily amount, whereas Health Canada’s own shopper rule says 15%; provisional: they may change in a later method version). The daily amount is Health Canada’s Dietary Reference Intake for adults 19–30; where men and women need different amounts we use the higher one (protein: 56 g for men, 46 g for women). The percentage printed under each nutrient is the printed amount as a share of that daily amount, rounded to the nearest whole number, and the word is read from that percentage, so the amount, the percentage and the word always agree. Calcium with a measured absorption is scaled by how well it gets in compared with milk.

The scale: “Nothing to watch” means a serving a day stays under the limit at ordinary amounts; “Go easy” means a serving a day can push past the limit for adults who already take in the most, or fewer than 2 servings reach it; “Limit it” means once a week or less. The dataset’s own rating is under “How we got this”. Provisional: the scale may change in a later method version.

Measured absorption under Good for: grade-A studies in adults that tested this preparation of this food, as a share of the listed amount (the share digested, for protein), quoted once each source has passed our evidence check; animal studies and other variants stay in the table above. Provisional: this screen may change in a later method version.
