Questions about Wild blackberries
How do you clean wild blackberries before eating them?
Pick out leaves and damaged berries, then rinse them briefly under cool running water just before eating. Drain on a clean tea towel; soaking can make ripe berries waterlogged and soft.
How should you store wild blackberries?
Refrigerate unwashed berries in a shallow container lined with kitchen paper and eat them within a few days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a tray, then transfer to a sealed container.
Can you freeze wild blackberries?
Yes. Freeze dry, unwashed berries on a tray until firm, then pack them into a freezer container; this keeps them from clumping. Use them straight from frozen in porridge, smoothies or baking.
What can you make with wild blackberries?
Fold them into a crumble, pie or scone mixture, or simmer them briefly with sugar and lemon for a sauce or jam. Their tart-sweet flavour also works well with apples and pears.
How can you tell when wild blackberries are ripe?
A ripe blackberry is dark, plump and comes away from the plant with little effort. Berries that are red or firm are underripe; avoid fruit that is mouldy, leaking or smells fermented.
Can you eat wild blackberries straight from the bush?
Only eat berries you can identify confidently and that have not been contaminated by animal droppings or sprayed with chemicals. Rinse them first; don’t pick from roadsides or low branches where animals may have passed.
Are wild blackberries different from cultivated blackberries?
Wild blackberries are often smaller and more variable in size, with a sharper, more complex flavour than the large, mild berries commonly sold fresh. Both are aggregate fruits made of many tiny drupelets.
How much fibre is in wild blackberries?
A handful of about 75 g provides 2.4 g of fibre, along with their characteristic juicy seeds. They are easy to add to porridge, yoghurt or a fruit salad.
