Grown by American farmers in the cool, marine climate of the Pacific Northwest, frozen Washington Red Raspberries are loved by students and school food operators alike.
Across the country, chefs are taking their talents to school food operations. This is a win for everyone as school food operations are looking more and more like favorite restaurants.
School chefs use red raspberries to add a sweet-tart flavor and vibrant color to a variety of menu items, from breakfast smoothies to raspberry barbecue sauce. They offer a unique aroma, an extraordinary depth of berry flavor and a vibrant fruit acidity.
Chefs add acid to brighten flavor and balance the sweet and savory flavors in a dish. Red raspberries naturally add acid to the flavor profile and complement more robust flavors, such as jalapeno or chili. The red raspberry’s singular flavor, aroma, brightness, and color make it an essential ingredient for meats, grains and vegetables, dairy and desserts!
