High in Vitamin C & Fiber

Blackberries are a great source of Vitamin C, as one cup contains about 50% of the daily recommended amount. Vitamin C is essential for a healthy functioning immune system. One cup also contains about 15% of the daily recommended value of fiber, which promotes digestive health.

Other health benefits

Blackberries contain xylitol, which is a sugar substitute that is more slowly absorbed by your body than glucose. This means that it won’t cause rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Blackberries are also rich in chemicals that are associated with a reduced risk of cancer.
