Blackberries are usually eaten raw or cooked in a desert. Fresh or frozen blackberries make a delicious addition to yogurt and a colorful and nutritious topping for pancakes or waffles.
Blackberries are a good source of fiber, vitamins C and K. One cup of raw blackberries contains approximately 60 calories.
