Raw raspberries are 86% water, 12% [[carbohydrate]]s, and have about 1% each of [[protein]] and fat (table). In a reference amount of {{cvt|100|g}}, raspberries supply 53 [[kilocalorie]]s and 6.5 grams of [[dietary fiber]]. Raspberries are a rich source of [[vitamin C]] (29% of the [[Daily Value]], DV), [[manganese in biology|manganese]] (29% DV), and dietary fiber (26% DV), but otherwise have low content of [[micronutrient]]s (table). Raspberries are a low-[[glycemic index]] food, with total sugar content of only 4% and no [[starch]].<ref name=Nutrition />

The [[aggregate fruit]] structure contributes to raspberry's nutritional value, as it increases the proportion of dietary fiber, which is among the highest known in [[whole food]]s {{ndash}} up to 6% fiber per total weight.<ref name="Nutrition">{{cite web |url=http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/2053/2 |title=Nutrient data for raw raspberries, USDA Nutrient Database, SR-21 |publisher=Conde Nast |date=2014 |access-date=16 April 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140416180227/http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/2053/2 |archive-date=16 April 2014 }}</ref>

=== Phytochemicals ===
Raspberries contain [[phytochemical]]s, such as [[anthocyanin]] [[pigment]]s, [[ellagic acid]], [[ellagitannin]]s, [[quercetin]], [[gallic acid]], [[cyanidin]]s, [[pelargonidin]]s, [[flavan-3-ol|catechins]], [[kaempferol]] and [[salicylic acid]].<ref name="ppb">{{cite journal |journal=Plant Physiology and Biochemistry |year=2013 |volume=72 |pages=79–86 |doi=10.1016/j.plaphy.2013.04.001 |pmid=23622736 |title=A targeted metabolomics approach to understand differences in flavonoid biosynthesis in red and yellow raspberries |vauthors=Carvalho E, Franceschi P, Feller A, Palmieri L, Wehrens R, Martens S |bibcode=2013PlPB...72...79C }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |journal=Food Chemistry |year=2014 |volume=160 |pages=233–40 |doi=10.1016/j.foodchem.2014.02.174 |pmid=24799233 |title=Quality and chemical composition of ten red raspberry (''Rubus idaeus'' L.) genotypes during three harvest seasons |vauthors=Mazur SP, Nes A, Wold AB, Remberg SF, Aaby K }}</ref> Yellow raspberries and others with pale-colored fruits are lower in anthocyanin content.<ref name="ppb" /> Both yellow and red raspberries contain carotenoids, mostly lutein esters, but these are masked by anthocyanins in red raspberries.<ref name=scidi1>{{cite journal |last2=Fraser |first2=P.D. |last3=Martens |first3=S. |last1=Carvalho |first1=Elisabete |title=Carotenoids and tocopherols in yellow and red raspberries |journal=Food Chemistry |year=2013 |volume=139 |issue=1–4 |pages=744–752 |doi=10.1016/j.foodchem.2012.12.047 |pmid=23561169 }}</ref>

=== Leaves ===
Raspberry leaves can be used fresh or dried in [[herbal tea]]s, providing an astringent flavor. In [[herbal medicine|herbal]] and [[traditional medicine]], raspberry leaves are used for some remedies, although there is no scientifically valid evidence to support their medicinal use.<ref name=Holst2009>{{cite journal |last1=Holst |first1=Lone |last2=Haavik |first2=Svein |last3=Nordeng |first3=Hedvig |pmid=19880082 |title=Raspberry leaf – Should it be recommended to pregnant women? |date=13 June 2009 |volume=15 |issue=4 |pages=204–8 |doi=10.1016/j.ctcp.2009.05.003 |journal=Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice |hdl=1956/3702 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>
