Red Raspberry Leaf Harvest Happening Now!

Scientifically referred to as Rubus idaeus, this perennial caning fruit of the rose family is very familiar to most of us: red, luscious, fragrant berries that taste great out of hand, or as a sauce, ice cream or smoothie. Plus they are high in antioxidants — substances that help us stay healthy. When they are in season, I try to pick as many as I can and freeze them for year round eating.

BUT don't forget, the LEAVES make a very nutritious infusion (long steeped tea), full of minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron) and considered one of the best uterine tonics.
Red raspberry leaves are best harvested from first year canes (primocanes) and then thoroughly dried before making into a tea.

Right now is a great time to do this.
The drying of the leaves and the long steeping help to draw the minerals and other constituents out of the raspberry leaf, making for an excellent, nourishing tonic.
