Blackberry

Blackberry is a glossy, deep-purple aggregate berry with small drupelets and a tender core. It tastes sweet-tart with a winey, slightly earthy note, and the tiny seeds give a gentle crunch; it holds up in pies and cobblers yet breaks down into vivid sauces and jams, sold fresh or frozen.\n\nWild and cultivated blackberries grow across Europe, North America, and parts of Asia, with many modern thornless cultivars developed in the Pacific Northwest and the UK. Growers train canes on trellises and harvest fully ripe fruit in summer, with packhouses freezing or shipping fresh berries for wider distribution.
