Why do I like Oregon's blackberries so much?


1 cup of blackberries will contain approximately:
NUTRIENT AMOUNT
  • fiber 8 grams or 31%
  • vitamin K 36%
  • vitamin C 50%
  • Omega-3 10%
  • Manganese 47%
  • vitamin A 6%
  • vitamin E 8% (this isn't even found in most fruits!)
  • calcium 4%
  • iron 5%
  • magnesium 7%
  • phosphorus 3%
  • zinc 5%
  • copper 12%
  • selenium 1%
  • folate 9%
  • calories 62
  • carbohydrate 7 net
  • glycemic index 4
Antioxidants in blackberries are 3 times higher than in blueberries!
