The healing properties of blackberries have already been used in traditional folk medicine. They were used to make juice, which was then used for colds and to strengthen the body and fight minor infections.

In turn, the infusion of the leaves was used against diarrhea, and the decoction - in case of fever and flu.
Blackberries are widely used in folk medicine, mainly due to the high content of anthocyanins.

Anthocyanins are antioxidant compounds that support the work of the heart, prevent neoplastic changes throughout the body, lower cholesterol and blood sugar, support weight loss, reduce inflammation, improve visual acuity and protect the skin.

The latter property is, in the case of blackberries, all the stronger as they are also rich in vitamin E, the vitamin of youth.
In addition, they also contain fats, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins - vitamin A, B vitamins (vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6 and B9), vitamins C, E and K and minerals - zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, calcium and iron.

Who should eat blackberries particularly often?

People with pressure problems, suffering from cardiovascular problems, complaining about skin problems and diabetics. It is worth reaching for these fruits if our eyesight is exposed to deterioration, for example due to difficult working conditions.
