In this post, I will be focusing on the some characteristics and health benefits that we get from these fruits.
Raspberries and Blackberries are commonly known as 'brambles' and 'love inducing food'. these brambles are excellent sources of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) which is a precursor for the production of collagen in our body, as well as a good source of Vitamin B (niacin, folic acid, riboflavin), which serve as precursors for production of coenzymes in our body.
Raspberry tea is well-known in our community; it is of great benefit for pregnant women because it combats nausea and vomiting that accompany their morning sickness.
As for cranberry (a derivative of raspberries), it is great for fighting urine infection. Basically it prevents adhesion of the bacteria E.Coli to the walls of the urinary tract.
Finally, on a commercial note, blackberries are used as natural purple dyes to label meat.
