BlackBerry is a widely distributed and well-known shrub: it belongs to raspberry plants, usually biennial, with erect, semi erect or climbing stems, thorns, and some cultivated species have no thorns. It can grow to 3 meters high and produce soft fruit. It is often used as dessert, jam, seedless jelly and sometimes fruit wine. The leaves are trifoliate or palmately compound leaves, with three to five leaflets. The leaflets are wide, oval, petiolate, thick tooth crack at the leaf margin, and most of the leaves survive the winter. The flower is white or pink, the fruit is aggregate fruit, and the small black or red purple drupe is inserted on the juicy receptacle.
BlackBerry has high requirements for planting land and environment. The soil moisture and fertility should be moderate. It has the habit of creeping upward, and its strong stems have short, curved but sharp thorns. When the curved and sagging branches touch the ground, roots will grow from the nodes at the top of the branches. Due to this characteristic, coupled with the rapid growth rate of blackberries, blackberries growing in woodlands, shrubs and hillsides can spread outward and occupy a large area of land in a very short time. The flowers in the early stage of BlackBerry can produce more small drupes than those in the late stage. Such symptoms show several possibilities: root depletion, extremely reluctant number of pollinators, or small changes in environmental conditions, such as rainy days, or the weather is too hot for bees to work after the early morning, resulting in a reduction in the number of visits by bees or a reduction in the number of pollen grains transmitted to flowers, Make the fruit quality decline. Drupes develop only near the ovule: male gametes from pollen grains fertilize the ovule. The fruit ripening time is mainly more than one month from the end of June to the beginning of August, and must be picked manually. It is a labor-intensive industry.
The freeze-drying process makes the raw materials retain natural color, natural rich taste, low moisture, long shelf life, low density, small weight and nutrients. Freeze dried blackberry powder has the inherent color of the product, which is uniform, loose powder, no caking and no visible impurities. Our freeze dried blackberry powder is made of BlackBerry by freeze-drying technology. It maintains the original flavor of blackberry and contains a variety of vitamins and acids.
