Fresh blackberries

Fresh blackberries are small, juicy fruits with a sweet-tart flavor, belonging to the Morus genus. These berries, which are black, violet, or dark red in color, have a soft texture and a thin skin, making them ideal for direct consumption or as an ingredient in various recipes, from desserts to jams and smoothies.

Native to temperate regions of Asia, Europe, and North America, blackberries are now cultivated in many countries, especially in Latin America, where they are valued for both their taste and their nutritional properties.

Properties: Fresh blackberries are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and K, as well as dietary fiber, which helps improve digestion and strengthen the immune system. They also contain minerals like iron and calcium, which are beneficial for bone and blood health.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, fresh blackberries may also be known as zarzamoras (mainly in Mexico and Central America), moras negras, or simply moras. These synonyms can vary by region, but they all refer to this same delicious and versatile fruit in the kitchen.
