Black Raspberries

So what is a black raspberry—and how does it differ from a blackberry? Black raspberry is related to both the raspberry and blackberry groups. These berries boast a distinct dark purple or black color and a sweet yet slightly tart flavor. They are smaller and more delicate than blackberries, with a hollow center when picked. Black raspberries are known for their rich antioxidant content and are often enjoyed fresh, used in jams, jellies, pies, or incorporated into desserts. They are also valued for their potential health benefits, including potential anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Black raspberries are typically harvested in summer, and like other bramble fruits, they require proper sunlight, well-drained soil, and regular maintenance for successful cultivation.
