However, blackberries have had an extensive history of being enjoyed long before this. The earliest consumption of blackberries dates back over 2,500 years ago!

From being used in cordials, pies, jellies and jams, blackberries have been a staple in the culinary world for hundreds of years. But we have used them for more than simply eating. Blackberries have been used in traditional medicines across the world, with research reporting that ancient Greeks and Romans used the berries to treat Gout and other illnesses. Blackberries have also been used to dye fabrics and hair, and their stems were also used to create rope by Native Americans.
