Happy National Raspberry Cream Pie Day! * Raspberries are a type of fruit known as an aggregate fruit. Aggregate fruits have flowers with multiple ovaries and each ovary produces druplets around a core formed by the flower. Each druplet could actually be considered a separate fruit. * There are over 200 different known species of raspberries but only 2 species are grown on a large scale. * Raspberries have been crossed with other berries to form new species. Theloganberry is a cross between raspberries and blackberries. The boysenberry is a cross between red raspberries, blackberries and loganberries. The nessberry is a cross between a dewberry, raspberry, and blackberry and other crosses include laxtonberries, veitchberries, and mahdiberries. * The people of Troy, in modern-day Turkey, were the first to note an appreciation of the raspberry fruit. * 4 A.D. saw the first writings on the cultivation of raspberries. * Raspberries are a wonderful source of vitamin C, containing 40 percent of a person’s daily needs. #NationalRaspberryCreamPieDay 🥧 #FoodSales #NonFoodSolutions #FoodConsultant #DisposableSolutions #FoodDude #FoodService #Food #FoodServiceSolutions #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDXjfhMgR7g/?igshid=1j61ty3mfb5p3
