I first had this dessert as a teenager at my best friends place on an exeat weekend from school – I was fresh off the boat from India and had never tried raspberries or fresh English cream; I thought I was in heaven when I had a taste of this quintessentially English raspberry fool…..if only I had known how easy it was to make…..
Health Benefits of Raspberries:
All types of berries are nutritious and low in calories.
The pigments that give berries their deep colours are also good for one’s health.
Raspberries are a good source of fibre, potassium, manganese, magnesium, copper, folic acid and vitamins C, E and K. In addition, they contain significant amounts of a phytochemical called ‘ellagic acid’ which may help to prevent some forms of cancer.
