Baking & Pastry

Available in a variety of formats to fit any baking need, frozen raspberries offer convenience and consistent quality right out of the container with no need for additional prep work, saving time and money!
Washington red raspberries are bred for the frozen market and have been praised by leading bakers for having less moisture than berries bred for the fresh market. The raspberry varieties grown for the frozen market tend to be smaller in size, which could allow for better moisture distribution in dough than their larger fresh counterparts. A reduced drip loss, coupled with the smaller size of frozen raspberries compared to fresh, may contribute to the better baking results leading bakers are reporting with frozen raspberries.
