The blackberry, native to parts of the US, has been linked to various health outcomes, including better immune function and digestive health, improved oral hygiene and cancer prevention. The 60-calorie fiber bomb can boost memory, improve skin aging, and potentially fight gum disease. Blackberries are rich in vitamin C, which prevents old-time sailors’ diseases, aids in wound-healing and skin regeneration, collagen production, reducing free radicals in the body, absorbing key nutrients like iron and keeping the immune system in good shape. They also contain an important amount of vitamin K, which plays an important role in blood clotting after an injury and in overall bone health. The American Heart Association recommends getting between 25 to 30 grams of fiber from food each day. They are also good for the gut and teeth, as well as brain and teeth.
