What are Blackberries?

Blackberries (Rubus fruticosus) are nutrient-rich berries with a deep purple-black hue, known for their sweet-tart flavor and juicy bite. Used in blends for color and tang, they are often found with raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries in berry medley mixes. Belonging to the Rosaceae family, they are closely related to raspberries and are available in both wild and cultivated forms. Blackberries are used extensively in the fresh fruit market and processed into frozen berries, purees, juices, jams, and confections, making them a valuable ingredient across the food industry.

As the demand for antioxidant-rich, minimally processed fruits continues to rise, blackberries remain a top-performing product in both the retail and food manufacturing sectors. Nutrada supports global businesses in sourcing premium blackberry formats tailored to fresh, frozen, or value-added applications.

Types, Varieties & Forms of Blackberries

Blackberries are sold in multiple formats and varietals, offering buyers flexibility in taste, texture, and application:

Varieties

• Wild Blackberries – Smaller and more aromatic, these offer intense flavor complexity, often used in premium food products or foraged-style menus.
• Cultivated Blackberries – Grown commercially, larger and sweeter, with varieties such as Marionberry and Boysenberry being especially popular.

Forms

Nutrada suppliers enable tailored sourcing of blackberry products in custom packaging, bulk formats, or private label configurations for food producers and retailers.

• Whole dried blackberries – Intact berries, chewy texture, often used in snacks or trail mixes
• Freeze-dried blackberries (whole or broken) – Light and crisp, used in cereals, baking, and rehydration applications
• Blackberry pieces – Cut or fragmented berries, ideal for granola, bars, or tea blends
• Blackberry powder – Finely milled, used for flavoring in beverages, smoothies, and supplements
• Infused dried blackberries – Sweetened with juice (e.g. apple juice) before drying, softer and sweeter for premium snacks

Harvest Season of Blackberries

Blackberry harvest windows vary based on geography and growing conditions:

• Northern Hemisphere – In the U.S., Mexico, and Europe, harvest runs from July to September, with peak availability in August.
• Southern Hemisphere – Countries like Chile and New Zealand offer off-season production between November and March, enabling year-round supply.

Nutrada's global reach ensures continuous sourcing options regardless of harvest cycles.
