Raspberry seeds are the tiny seeds of the raspberry that give the fruit its wavy texture. Strictly speaking, a raspberry is not a berry, but an aggregate fruit. A single raspberry consists of many small drupelets, each with its own seed. This explains why raspberries contain so many seeds. And those are exactly what we're after! We separate the raspberry seeds from the pulp. The small seeds are then gently dried and ground.
They contain the valuable ingredient ellagic acid. Ellagic acid belongs to the group of phenolic acids; these are exclusively found in nuts and fruits. In addition to valuable ellagic acid, Lüttge Raspberry Seed also boasts a high content of dietary fiber and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
If you use fresh or frozen raspberries in the kitchen, you should avoid deseeding them if possible. Because all the power is in the tiny seeds.
Lüttge Raspberry Seed consists solely of dried raspberry seeds obtained from what is known as pomace.
Our Tip
Find out about the ingredients of raspberries in specialist literature, from alternative practitioners, doctors or nutritionists; there is also a lot to be found on the Internet. For example, ellagic acid is hardly known, and nature has already come up with quite a lot. Important: pay attention to good sources.
