Blackberries – 6oz

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 druplets. Blackberries get their purple color from the phytonutrient anthocyanin, which has antioxidant properties. 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.
