Blackberry plant

Like figs (Ficus), blackberries or blackberries (Morus) are a genus of plants in the blackberry family (Moraceae) and one of the oldest cultivated plants. Blackberries grow to a height of 5-15 meters. The shape of the blackberry fruit is reminiscent of elongated blackberries, while the color can vary from cream (white blackberries) to red and black, depending on the variety.

The history of the blackberry

White blackberries are native to China and are now grown in many warm European countries as they become increasingly popular. Blackberries have spread to all the southern regions of Europe that are climatically suitable for vine cultivation since the Roman period. Blackberries were seen as a sign of wealth and prosperity. The Romans worshiped the tree as the seat of wisdom.

Blackberries from certified organic crops

Our organic white blackberries (Morus alba) come from certified organic crops in Anatolia (Turkey) and are delicately processed after harvesting in raw food quality dried after harvest, so that the valuable ingredients are preserved in the best possible way. The fruits ripen in a long harvest phase, from July to August. They don't all ripen on the tree at the same time, but gradually, which means they can be harvested over several weeks. The harvest is rich and regular. Our blackberries are gently dried away from moisture in the fresh mountain air in the Taurus Mountains at an altitude of approximately 1,300 meters. Although they lose their color during drying, their sweet taste is intensified by the drying process, which means that the fruit can also be used as a sugar substitute (for example in tea or muesli).

Premium blackberry without additives

Our blackberries do not contain additives and are not sulfur during drying. Thus, you get a natural product of the highest quality - nothing else! Blackberries are raw food grade and free of artificial additives such as glutamate, flavor enhancers, artificial colors, artificial flavors and preservatives. In addition, no fillers are used and no salt, dextrose, starch or sugar is added.

Organic farming is a natural form of agriculture. This means that our blackberries undergo a 100% natural ripening process and the material cycles are closed.

Valuable superfood with lots of vital substances

Blackberries are rich in numerous nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Just take a look at the nutrition facts table in the charts. The vital substances contained in blackberries help perform a number of important functions in our body. For example, fruits are a source of PROTEIN vegetables (9 g per 100 g) and provides fiber (45% of the NRV per 100 g) for normal intestinal function in adults (NRV = nutritional reference value). Blackberries are also rich in:

• Calcium (32% of RV per 100g): Calcium contributes to normal blood clotting, normal energy metabolism, normal muscle function, normal signaling between nerve cells and normal function of digestive enzymes. Calcium also has a function in cell division and specialization. Calcium is needed to maintain normal bones and teeth.
• The iron (88% of RV per 100g): Iron contributes to normal cognitive function, normal energy metabolism, normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, normal oxygen transport in the body, normal functioning of the immune system and reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Iron also has a function in cell division.
• Magnesium (32% of RV per 100g): Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, as well as electrolyte balance, normal energy metabolism, normal nervous system function, normal muscle function, normal protein synthesis, normal psychological function and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Magnesium also has a function in cell division.
• Phosphorus (36% of the RNI per 100g): Phosphorus contributes to normal energy metabolism, the normal functioning of cell membranes and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
• Vitamin C (303% of RV per 100g): Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to the normal functioning of the immune system during and after intense physical activity, to normal energy metabolism, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal psychological functioning and to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Vitamin C also contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the normal functioning of blood vessels, gums and teeth, bones and cartilage and skin. Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron and contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E.
• Riboflavin (vitamin B2) (43% of the RNI per 100g): Riboflavin contributes to normal energy metabolism, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to the normal metabolism of iron, to the normal maintenance of mucous membranes, red blood cells, skin, vision, as well as to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Mulberries are also a good source of fiber:

• Copper (30% of the RNR per 100g): Copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissue, normal energy metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal hair pigmentation, normal transport of iron in the body, normal functioning of the immune system, as well as protecting cells from oxidative stress.
• Niacin (vitamin B3) (26% of RV per 100g): Niacin contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological functioning, maintenance of normal mucous membranes and skin, as well as the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
