Raspberries: These jewel-like berries are packed with vitamin C, manganese and ellagic acid, a type of polyphenol antioxidant prominent in berries that's beneficial to heart health and skin. Plus, as SELF has reported, black raspberries may protect against certain cancers, and they are a top source of waist-trimming and blood sugar-stabilizing fiber.
How to eat them: With dozens of varieties available, from red, yellow and golden to purple and black, raspberries are a fall staple. This is a great time to pick your own, which is a fun fall activity. These versatile berries can be enjoyed in so many recipes and applications: raw, dried or canned; in baked goods, smoothies, cocktails, dressings and sauces; or simply eaten plain for a healthy snack.

Sprinkle with cinnamon, put the top on, slice and enjoy.
