How to remove all the raspberry seeds

Core raspberries - step-by-step instructions

There is often heated debate among amateur gardeners and cooks about how best to remove the seeds from raspberries. We recommend the following method:

1. Puree the raspberries with a normal mixer or with a "Flotten Lotte". The latter is nothing more than a hand-operated kitchen appliance with which you can chop berries and many other fruits quickly and gently.
2. Then brush the obtained raspberry mixture through a fine-meshed sieve. The following applies: the finer the sieve, the fewer raspberry pits manage to find their way through the holes. They usually get stuck in the tight mesh. Metal and tea strainers are particularly suitable.

Tips

• Clean the sieve under running water immediately after use. In this way, you can remove the cores without too much effort. If you wait too long to do this, it can be a tedious task to get the screen clean again.
• If you have a fruit and berry grinder, you can also use it. Such a device is very practical, especially when you want to process larger quantities.
• Sometimes it is enough to press the washed and dried raspberries through a sieve with a spoon. However, this method can be very exhausting.

Better not to remove the raspberry seeds

Most people want to pit raspberries because unfortunately the fine kernels tend to get caught between the teeth. This can limit the enjoyment, especially when consuming delicious jam. However, it should be remembered that the kernels are not harmful, on the contrary. They contain valuable minerals.

Our recommendation: If you do not find the seeds of raspberries annoying, you should not remove them, regardless of what you want to conjure up from your fruits. Possible are for example:

• Drinks / shakes
• sweet soups
• jam
• fruity mush
