• Blackberries are rich in Vitamin C and fiber, both of which have been shown to help reduce the risks of certain cancers.
• Blackberries contain ellagic acid, a phenolic compound shown to have anti-cancer, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. The cyanidin-3-glucoside in blackberries has also inhibited tumor growth and spread in animal subjects.
• Their dark blue color comes from high levels of plant pigments like anthocyanins, which work as antioxidants to help fight free radical damage in the body. Blackberries have among the highest antioxidant levels of fruits regularly tested.
