Blackberries

September must be one of the most abundant months in the UK for fruit and vegetables, with local hedgerows bursting with Blackberries. If this fruit came from a sun-drenched amazonian rain forest it would be uber marketed as the next big superfood! I suppose it suffers due to its wildly abundant growth throughout the British Isles, so encourage you to get outside to pluck the last remaining berries, also benefitting from the outdoor physical activity. This fantastic fruit is a powerhouse of essential nutrients of vitamins and minerals but it’s the phenolic compounds that make it stand out head and shoulders amongst other popular fruits.
