Pick your perfect punnet

When buying blackberries, look for plump, deep purple berries. The colour should be dark and consistent and there should not be too many red druplets on the berries. A little juice in the punnet is harmless and will make for sweet and ripe berries. Blackberries are ready ripened when you buy them.

Keep cool

Store blackberries in the fridge, between 2 and 4 °C, as soon as possible after purchase. Keep the punnet upright and handle carefully to avoid bruising.

Rinse & raise

Get the most out of your brilliant berries, by bringing them up to room temperature and washing before devouring. Enjoy your burst of berry goodness.

And don’t forget when it comes to blackberries, the more the berrier.

Blackberries are not berries (shock horror), in a strict botanical sense, a blackberry is not a berry but a fruit made up of tiny 'drupelets'.

The dark colour ensures blackberries have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all fruits.

Blackberries are red before they are ripe, leading to an old expression that "blackberries are red when they're green"

To keep blackberries fresh, chill between 2 and 4 °C. temperature.

Blackberries don't have touchscreens or keypads but they do taste like a sweet burst of goodness.

Hailed as a “superfood,” blackberries are a source of vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin K.

One of the earliest known instances of blackberry consumption comes from the remains of the Haraldskær Woman, dating from approximately 2,500 years ago.

To get the blackberry flavour really bursting, eat them at room temperature.
