Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the scientific classification of raspberries. The raspberries are cultivated in abroad as well as in Pakistan. Raspberry is a crop that is cultivated in most European countries and in different areas of Pakistan such as Murree, Islamabad, and Lahore. Raspberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber. Antioxidants are present in raspberries which may prevent cell damage and cancer. Raspberries are used to lower the sugar level. We use raspberries in different products such as juices, lotions, desserts, and wines. There are many health benefits of raspberries for humans as well as animals in lowering sugar levels and prevent from cancer and other cell damage. Raspberries (Rubus idaeus L.) are renowned for their sensory and nutritional properties, owing to their high level of critical components that are useful for the role of biological activity in human health. Raspberries are one example of a plant-based diet that appears to lower the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and death. It may support the promotion of a vibrant complexion, increased vitality, and weight loss.
