Blackberry

Blackberry refers to the edible dark purple to black fruit from various species in the Rubus genus, primarily Rubus fruticosus. The fruit is rich in vitamins (especially vitamin C and K), fiber, and antioxidants (notably anthocyanins). It is commonly used in functional foods, dietary supplements, juices, jams, and herbal medicine; blackberry leaves are also used in traditional medicine for their astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.
