Blackberry

Ripe blackberries are a delicacy. The soft, bluish-black fruits have delicious, sweet-sour aroma and have a high content of health-promoting substances. In particular, carotenoids are contained in such large amounts that the blackberry is at the top of the provitamin A suppliers of berry fruits.

Among the berry fruits, blackberries have the highest provitamin A content. Provitamin A is converted into vitamin A in the body, which is important for the eyes. Noteworthy are also the levels of vitamin C and vitamin E, both involved in cell protection, and the vitamins from the B group, which are essential for metabolic processes. Plenty of mineral and fiber as well as a wide range of phenolic acids and flavonoids - which are said to have antibacterial and anticancer effects - complete the potpourri of healthy ingredients.
