Blackberry

Blackberries originated from the species Rubus and are native to temperate zones. They are believed to be at their best when picked directly from the wild however some newer cultivated varieties do match the real wild flavour. They are low in energy, fat and sugar. Blackberries are a good source of fibre, Vitamins C and E and folic acid.
