Blackberry – Multiple Fruits, One Berry
Blackberries are not berries at all, but are made up of multiple small fruits with seeds that offer different nutrients. With high levels of Vitamin C, blackberries are a great low calorie snack or ingredient for different applications. Blackberries:
Are rich in polyphenols having in vitro evidence for anti-cancer activity
Contain high levels of Vitamin C and Vitamin K, accounting for about 20%
of the recommended daily value per serving
Provide eight grams of dietary fiber per serving
Have significant levels of manganese
Are low in sodium and cholesterol
Blackberry purees and concentrates can be added to a variety of beverages, baked goods and granola bars to maximize the benefits offered by each small seed.
