Raspberries

You are getting early access to this one Witches as we haven’t even recorded this episode yet!

This time we are talking specifically of the red raspberry or Rubus idaeus, as it is the most widely used. While the name says that it is a berry it is actually part of the Rosacea (rose) family.

Native to North America they are generally cultivated in Canada. Although they are well known for the sweet berry that they produce, the leaves are also used in medicines (please see bottom disclaimer).
