All About Blackberries
FRESH FROM NATURIPE
Naturipe® blackberries are simply scrumptious. These beautiful berries are dotingly nurtured and picked at the peak of perfection. Only the most perfect blackberries are plucked from the bush and presented as Naturipe’s own–our berry growers wouldn’t have it any other way.
Nutrition & Health
Blackberries are loaded with vitamin C and fiber, both nutrients that promote health and wellness. In fact, a cup of blackberries has over twice the fiber content of a cup of brown rice, while also providing a third of the daily recommended value of the antioxidant vitamin C.

HOW TO SELECT, STORE, & HANDLE
Pick blackberries with color ranging from deep red/purple to deep purple/black. The berries should be plump and firm to the touch.
Avoid berries that are wrinkled or dried out.
Keep blackberries in their original container and refrigerate them as soon as possible. Do not wash them prior to refrigeration.
Prior to serving, rinse blackberries gently to avoid crushing them.
When handled and stored properly in the refrigerator, blackberries can stay fresh 2-3 days after purchase.
