Nutrient Rich Blackberries: 33 Recipes Celebrating This Powerhouse Berry

Blackberries are an under utilized berry, and we are going to change that! Seems like strawberries and blueberries get all the love, while black berries have so much going for them. Fresh blackberries are nutrient-rich, providing essential vitamins C and K, fiber, and powerful antioxidants like anthocyanins that support overall health and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases. They’re low in calories, making them an ideal snack for weight management, and their high fiber content aids digestion and heart health. With their high water content, blackberries help keep you hydrated.

Versatile in use, they can be enjoyed on their own, in smoothies, yogurt bowls, BBQ sauces, desserts, or even savory dishes like salads. We have 34 recipes for you, including how to freeze for later use – and even how to make legal moonshine! Yup, you read that right.
