Raspberries are grown for the fresh fruit market and for commercial processing into individually quick frozen (IQF) fruit, pure, juice, or as dried fruit used in a variety of grocery products. Traditionally, raspberries were a mid-summer crop, but with new technology, cultivars, and transportation, they can now be obtained year-round. Raspberries need ample sun and water for optimal development. An individual raspberry weighs about 4 g, on average and is made up of around 100 drupelets,each of which consists of a juicy pulp and a single central seed.
