Raspberry Health Benefits & Nutrition

Highest Fiber Density of Any Common Berry

Raspberries contain 6.5g of fiber per 100g — more than strawberries (2.0g), blueberries (2.4g), or blackberries (5.3g). This exceptional fiber content means that despite containing 11.9g of total carbs, only 5.4g are net carbs. The fiber is a mix of soluble pectin (which feeds gut bacteria and lowers cholesterol) and insoluble cellulose (which promotes bowel regularity). A single cup of raspberries provides 23% of the adult daily fiber requirement.

Ellagic Acid and Cancer Research

Raspberries are one of the richest dietary sources of ellagic acid — a polyphenol that has demonstrated anti-carcinogenic properties in numerous laboratory studies. Research has shown ellagic acid can inhibit cancer cell growth and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells from colon, prostate, breast, and oesophageal tissues. While human clinical trials are still developing, population studies consistently show high berry consumption correlates with lower cancer rates.

Blood Sugar — Unique Among Sweet-Tasting Foods

Despite tasting sweet, raspberries have a very low glycemic index of approximately 25 — lower than almost any other fruit. This is due to their exceptionally high fiber content slowing sugar absorption significantly. A 2019 study found that women who ate raspberries with a high-carb meal had significantly lower post-meal insulin response compared to those who ate no fruit, suggesting raspberries may actually may support blood sugar management when consumed with meals.

Ketogenic Diet — the Best Berry Choice

With only 5.4g of net carbs per 100g, raspberries are the most keto-friendly common berry. A ½ cup serving contains just 3.3g of net carbs, allowing people on strict keto (20g daily limit) to enjoy a meaningful serving. This makes raspberries a staple berry choice for low-carb diets, providing antioxidants and fiber that are otherwise difficult to obtain on a keto diet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories in raspberries?
Raspberries contain 52 calories per 100g. A cup of raspberries (123g) has 64 calories. A single raspberry weighs about 2.3g and has approximately 1 calorie. Use the slider above to calculate for any weight.
Are raspberries keto?
Yes — raspberries are the best keto berry. With only 5.4g of net carbs per 100g (total carbs minus fiber), a ½ cup serving contains just 3.3g net carbs. This makes raspberries one of the few fruits that fits comfortably into a strict ketogenic diet.
Are raspberries high in fiber?
Yes — raspberries have the highest fiber content of any common berry at 6.5g per 100g. A cup provides 23% of the adult daily fiber requirement. This exceptional fiber content is why raspberries have such low net carbs despite their carbohydrate content.
Are raspberries good for weight loss?

Are frozen raspberries as healthy as fresh?
Almost identical nutritionally. Freezing preserves most vitamins and antioxidants. Vitamin C content may decrease by 10–15% during storage but anthocyanins and ellagic acid are well preserved or even more bioavailable after freezing. Frozen raspberries without added sugar are an excellent year-round alternative to fresh.
Can diabetics eat raspberries?
Yes — raspberries are one of the best fruits for people with diabetes, with a very low glycemic index of approximately 25. Their high fiber content slows sugar absorption significantly, and research suggests their polyphenols may may support blood sugar management. A cup serving is generally well tolerated.
