Red raspberries are a great source of fiber. Up to 20% of their total weight is made up of fiber. Raspberries also contain folic acid, magnesium, copper, iron, and manganese. One cup of raspberries provides half of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C.

Lemons

Lemons can be a great addition to many dishes and drinks, but they also have other great uses.
