Romantic Raspberry Swirl
The flavonoids in these luscious berries are also excellent for the heart–they help repair blood vessels and reduce blood clotting. Berries also provide high levels of vitamin C to protect artery walls and lower cholesterol. Simply wash berries if organic or soak or spray them with a biodegradable fruit wash and rinse if non-organic.
