A growing number of people are interested in adding so-called "superfoods" to their diet, which are becoming increasingly popular due to the many benefits they bring to the body by providing vitamins and minerals.

These foods should always be included in a varied and balanced diet, and they have different properties depending on the product. In this case, we will tell you about a fruit that lowers cholesterol, protects the heart and fights age-related changes. This is the blackberry, a wild fruit that is highly recommended to include in the daily diet of any person, as it is full of nutrients and antioxidants, rich in dietary fiber and is a source of vitamins''E, B and folate.

Factually, the Spanish Nutrition Foundation (FEN) claims that a serving of blackberries covers 30% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin E.

Despite its many health benefits and flavor, blackberries are often not consumed in large quantities in Spain, as can be the case with other more common fruits such as apples, oranges or bananas. This could be due to several factors such as availability, price or the fact that they are not as popular in markets all year round.

The season for picking them is quite short, and they are usually available in late summer and early fall. Also, unlike other fruits that are grown in large quantities for mass consumption, blackberries are often''harvested in the wild, which limits its distribution in the market.

Multiple health benefits of blackberries:
