Blackberries

Blackberries
In 100 grams of blackberries, your body is given 21% of your total recommended intake of fiber, 32% of the manganese necessary per day, and 25% of the vitamin K you need to lead a strong, healthy life. Furthermore these tiny berries have one of the highest oxygen radical absorbence capacities of all fruits, making them one of the top sources of antioxidants out of all available edible fruits. If you're concerned with decreasing the likelihood of developing cancer or are concerned with general health, these berries, while sometimes underestimated, are just as effective as any other berry, such as a strawberry or raspberry.

Blackberries are rich in fiber, antioxidants and phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are natural chemicals found in plants. Unlike minerals and vitamins that are also found in plant foods, phytonutrients are not essential for keeping us alive. However, they may help prevent disease and keep the body working properly.
