It grows throughout Europe on forest edges, hedgerows, and embankments; even Stone Age settlers gathered it, as evidenced by seed finds.<\/p>\n<p>Garden blackberries are mostly thornless varieties from North America, with large, sweet fruits. Like the raspberry, the blackberry is an aggregate fruit; unlike the raspberry, the receptacle does not detach when picked, but remains in the fruit.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"nutzen\">\n<h2><span>To use<\/span>What the blackberry can do for you<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ea-drop\">Blackberries provide approximately 5 g <strong>Dietary fiber<\/strong> per 100 g, plus vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese and plenty <strong>Anthocyanins<\/strong> and ellagitannins \u2013 their dark color is their distinguishing feature. With approximately 43 kcal per 100 g, they are light and filling.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>blackberry leaves<\/strong> Blackberry leaves are a recognized medicinal drug: Commission E has described blackberry leaf tea for nonspecific, acute diarrhea and for mild inflammation of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa. This effect is due to the tannins, which have an astringent effect.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies to these fruits as to all dark berries: they are a valuable part of a polyphenol-rich diet, and observational studies link berry consumption to better heart health. No specific medicinal properties of the fruit have been proven.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ea-zahlen\">\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approx. 5 g<\/b><span>Dietary fiber per 100 g<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approx. 43 kcal<\/b><span>per 100 g<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>approx. 20 \u00b5g<\/b><span>Vitamin K per 100 g<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>hundreds<\/b><span>Small species form the group of blackberries<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"inhalt\">\n<h2><span>Ingredients<\/span>This is what&#039;s in the blackberry<\/h2>\n<p>The fruits contain water, sugar, fruit acids, <strong>Dietary fiber<\/strong>, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin E, Manganese as well as <strong>Anthocyanins<\/strong> (especially cyanidin-3-glucoside) and ellagitannins.
