Raspberries

Peak Season: May to November

Perfect Pick: Plump and dry, with good shape and intense, uniform color. Examine the container carefully for mold or juice stains at the bottom. Raspberries with hulls attached are a sign of underripe, overly tart berries.

Handle with Care: Place highly perishable raspberries, unwashed, on a paper towel in a single layer. Cover with a damp paper towel and refrigerate for no more than 2 to 3 days.

The Payoff: More fiber (8 grams per cup) than any other commonly consumed berry. Plus, the anticancer chemical ellagic acid.
