Is raspberry an allergen?

Raspberry is not one of the main food allergens. Any new food can cause a reaction the first time it is offered, so give it on its own and stay with your baby while they eat.

Is raspberry good for babies?

Raspberries are exceptionally high in fibre and vitamin C. Their ellagic acid content is a potent antioxidant linked to cellular protection. The seeds can be strained for younger babies. Their tartness helps broaden a baby's flavour palette early.
