What are Blackberries?

Blackberries (Rubus fruticosus) are healthy berries that are dark purple-black in color. People enjoy their sweet-tart taste. These berries look and taste delicious when mixed with raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries in fruit mixtures. They belong to the Rosaceae family, which means they are related to raspberries. You can find both wild and farmed blackberries.

Blackberries are popular in the fruit market. They are also processed into various varieties such as: freeze dried powder, purees, juices, jams, and sweets, which makes them important for the food industry.

As more people want fruits that are high in antioxidants and minimally processed, blackberries are doing well in both stores and food manufacturing. Nutrada helps businesses around the world find high-quality dried blackberries and freeze dried blackberry powder.

Types, Varieties & Forms

Blackberries come in different types and forms, so buyers can pick what they like best. There are basically two main types: wild and cultivated. Wild blackberries are smaller and are often used in gourmet dishes. On the other hand, cultivated blackberries are grown on farms and therefore bigger and sweeter.
