Blackberries

The blackberries you buy in the store are very close to blackberries in the wild. Some varieties of blackberries are darker than other varieties of blackberries. Some get dark purple when they’re fully ripe; some get practically all black when they ripen. The anthocyanins in blackberries are very powerful and more potent when the blackberry is a darker color. Anthocyanins in blackberries target eye health, helping to stave off degenerative eye diseases.

Blackberries have a high antioxidant ratio. Some varieties of blackberries have well over a dozen different kinds of antioxidants, many undiscovered by research and science. Some of the antioxidant varieties in blackberries head directly to the brain when entering the blood- stream. This is when the antioxidants of the blackberry can help slow down cell damage, cell decay, and cell destruction of the brain.

Similar to the wild blueberry, blackberries have a hyperantioxidant. This hyperantioxidant stays active just enough to reach deeper places inside the body, faraway places in hard-to-reach organ tissue.

Blackberries are powerful skin protectors. The hyperantioxidants reach outer layers of skin tissue. It would take eating blackberries consistently in your life in order to see skin changes. You’d have to consume blackberries on a regular basis.

The tiny seeds in blackberries are high in omega-3 and also high in trace minerals. Traces of zinc are in the blackberry seed, and traces of molybdenum.

Even though wild blackberries do not need to be fertilized, watered, and fed as cultivated blackberries do, wild blackberries still tend to have more nutrients than the ones you buy in the store. Nevertheless, a store- bought or garden-grown blackberry is very close to wild. When a non-wild (cultivated) blackberry plant has the correct nutrients in its soil and water, the plant’s fruit can fulfill the job of helping the body heal with ease.
