Raspberry Pros - Raspberries are an excellent source of flavanoids, vitamin C, fiber, manganese, and ellagic acid.  Ellagic acid is a potent antioxidant that protects chromosomes from damage, as well as blocking cancer causing pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) found in cigarette smoke and toxic chemicals such as benzopyrene.
Raspberry Cons - Raspberries contain moderate levels of oxalates, which should be avoided by people with a history of calcium oxalate kidney stones. Like other berries, pesticide residue should be washed off before eating.
Pick Your Own Advantages - The freshest fruits and vegetables generally have the highest nutritional value. There are approximately twenty species of raspberries, but most commercially grown raspberries are Meekers. Pick-your-own fruits do not have to be specially bred to withstand transportation across the country or across the globe; they can be better tasting berries.
