The fruit is made up of around a hundred drupelets, those tiny segments packed tightly together, each one containing a tiny seed.

The Romans were the first people known to have cultivated red raspberries for food and medicine.

The fruit contains flavonoid phytochemicals, including anthocyanins, ellagic acid, quercetin, gallic acid, catechines, kaempferol, and salicylic acid.
