Selecting

Blackberries range in colour from a very dark blue to purple to black. The best berries are deep and evenly coloured all over, plump and dry, and have a smooth sheen. That’s how to spot the best blackberry.

Storing

Keep your blackberries in the fridge in a dry container, and they should stay at their best for 2-3 days. You can also freeze blackberries. Gently rinse them in cool water, allow them to dry completely, place them into freezer-friendly containers, and freeze for up to 6 months.

Enjoying

It’s best to wash your blackberries just before eating them. You can choose to enjoy them on their own, as a tasty jam on toast, or in a range of dishes. Blackberries are great in both sweet and savoury recipes, so get creative with your cooking!

A Berry Bursting With History

Blackberries first made their way to Australia way back in 1840, coming all the way from the United Kingdom. Back then, they were only used here to prevent soil erosion - look how far they’ve come! From being used in cordials, pies, jellies, and jams, blackberries have been a staple in the culinary world for hundreds of years. Blackberries are known to have been used in traditional medicines too. Researchers report that ancient Greeks and Romans used blackberries to treat a range of illnesses, as well as being used to dye fabrics and hair.
