A few plain unsweetened berries are safe as an occasional offering. Avoid jams, syrups, and sweetened products. Too much fiber from fruit can loosen stool.
Raspberries are soft tart-sweet berries sold fresh, frozen, and as jams, sauces, and dessert toppings. They provide water, fiber, and antioxidants with less sugar than many tropical fruits.
Raspberry products often include added sugar, syrup, or chocolate when used in desserts and snack foods. Seed texture can bother very sensitive stomachs in larger portions.
Sauces and dessert fillings are usually sweetened and sometimes combined with chocolate — treat these like sweets rather than fresh fruit.
