Raspberries are rich in vitamins C, A, E, K, and B-complex and minerals such as iron, copper, calcium, and magnesium. They are also high in ellagic acid which is a medicinal compound that helps to prevent cancer as well as benign and malignant growths.
Blackberries are packed with anthocyanin which have the ability to significantly reduce inflammation. The phytoestrogens in blackberries aid in the prevention of breast and cervical cancer and can relieve estrogen related symptoms such as PMS, bloating, food cravings, & hot flashes.
Strawberries are loaded with Vitamin C they help to boost the immune system by warding off colds, flu’s, and respiratory infections.
