Frozen blackberries

Frozen blackberries are the berries of the Rubus fruticosus plant that have been harvested at their optimal ripeness and subsequently frozen to preserve their freshness, flavor, and nutritional properties for a longer period. These small fruits, with their deep black color and juicy texture, are known for their sweet taste with a slightly acidic touch, making them perfect for a variety of culinary preparations, from desserts to smoothies and sauces.

The origin of the blackberry is found in temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America, although its cultivation has spread to many areas of the world. Traditionally harvested in summer and autumn, frozen blackberries allow you to enjoy this fruit all year round, making it easy to use in recipes regardless of the season.

Regarding their properties, frozen blackberries are an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals such as manganese. These nutrients help strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and combat oxidative stress. Furthermore, as they are quickly frozen after harvest, they retain a large part of their nutritional benefits.

In Hispanic America, besides "zarzamoras," this ingredient may also be known as moras negras or simply moras, although these terms may vary by region. It is important to distinguish them from other varieties of berries to ensure the desired flavor and texture in recipes.

Frozen blackberries are ideal for preparing jams, cakes, smoothies, yogurts, and fruit salads, adding a natural touch of color and flavor to your culinary creations.
