Red Raspberry Rubus Idaeus

Red raspberry is among the most delicately delicious snacks nature has to offer. 
The berries need no introduction, and they are great for pies, tortes, or even 
adding to your yogurt or cereal. The leaves are used in herbal tea, imparting a 
flavor much like black tea but without the caffeine. It is considered safe for 
children and pregnant females. The fruit is sometimes used for liver support. 
The entire plant, including the leaves, flowers and fruit are high in antioxidants. 
The only drawback is that these precious fruits grow on thorn bushes. But you can 
utilize this as a natural barrier to keep larger animals and even people out of 
certain areas such as your vegetable garden. Red raspberry is hardy to zone 4.
