Organic Blackberries, 12 oz.

Blackberries are succulent, soft, and juicy. Their flavor is sweet and slightly tart with earthy undertones. Blackberries are an aggregate fruit, meaning that the fruit is made up of a cluster of one-seeded droplets. Blackberries get their purple color from the phytonutrient anthocyanin, which has antioxidant properties. Blackberries are a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C. They also contain iron, calcium and dietary fiber. Since blackberries have a sweet but also tart flavor, they can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. Blackberries pair well with rich-flavored cheeses and fatty meats. Blackberries can be used for a variety of desserts from ice creams and jams to baked pies and pastries. Blackberries also pair well with nuts, aged balsamic vinegar, salad greens, figs, and leafy herbs. Blackberries are native to Europe, but farmers grow them across the United States all year round. However, they are in peak season in the late summer months from July to August.
