Quick answers about this product
What is North American Herb and Spice RaspaMax?
North American Herb and Spice RaspaMax is an 85g raspberry powder made from freeze-dried black raspberries, fortified with organic air-dried red raspberry. The brand describes the red raspberry as rich in ellagic acid and the black raspberry as 100% freeze-dried.
How do you take RaspaMax raspberry powder?
RaspaMax is taken as one or more teaspoons daily in a glass of water, or blended into smoothies. North American Herb and Spice also suggests stirring the raspberry powder into any fruit juice. Please consult your doctor before use.
How many berries equal one teaspoon of RaspaMax?
One teaspoon of RaspaMax is equivalent to about one third to one half cup of berries, according to North American Herb and Spice. The brand adds that 14 pounds of black raspberries are needed to make one pound of freeze-dried powder.
What ORAC value does RaspaMax list?
RaspaMax lists over 1000 ORAC units per teaspoon and 48,000 ORAC units per container. ORAC is a measure of antioxidant capacity, and North American Herb and Spice uses these figures to describe the raspberry powder's antioxidant content.
Which raspberries are used in RaspaMax?
RaspaMax uses two types: freeze-dried black raspberry powder and organic air-dried red raspberry powder. The black raspberry forms the main powder, while the red raspberry is added for its ellagic acid content.
Does RaspaMax use freeze-dried raspberries?
Yes. The black raspberry in RaspaMax is 100% freeze-dried, which North American Herb and Spice says preserves the key nutrients of the fruit. The red raspberry portion is organic and air-dried rather than freeze-dried.
