Any individual who has at any one point in their lives held a blackberry would agree that it is a unique experience that is superior to that of an apple item in every form. A BOLD statement to make, but one that can be made in confidence by a blackberry addict, or crackberry user, as some would call it.

The luscious blackberry comes in a variety of colours depending on the age regardless of what their name may convey. Something to note that may catch you off guard is that blackberries are not in fact true berries. The need to point this out may be amusing to some, but you would be astonished as to how many people are deceived by the name.

Moreover, acquiring them locally is also great for Canada’s economy and exemplifies the patriotism that we Canadians are proud of. It becomes clear by performing a basic test of walking around campus and questioning undergraduate students about their opinion of blackberries to quickly discover the praise our peers have for it with comments such as “berry good” and “PEARL in my life.” If you would like, you may even draw a CURVE to illustrate peoples’ love for blackberries as a function of age.

What I find shocking is that you can even get blackberries mailed to you; some refer to this service as BBM and find it to be excellent for acquiring information of when the item was Delivered and/or Received. However, it is not all good news. I must advise against associating blackberries with driving, even if you are sure you are capable of keeping an eye on the road. No matter how much you may like blackberries, it is always better to be safe than sorry, especially when you are placing the lives of other drivers at risk. Another important mention is blackberries and their relationship with the ever so popular blue-tooth, which, unexpectedly, not everyone is a fan of.

Blackberries’ supreme utility is the ability to multitask when you hold one in your hand. And NO, I do not mean by using your other hand, but with the same hand you are holding the blackberry with. You can even hold multiple blackberries or write while holding a blackberry, which is something you would not be able to do with an apple. Not to TORCH apples’ looks, but the more CURVES on blackberries make them much more appealing to the eyes. Now comes the more informative aspect of article… How blackberries are good for your health.

Let me begin by giving you a TOUR of the benefits of blackberries, starting with how scrumptious they are. Blackberries have the best of both worlds by being delicious  and having a high nutritional content. This is made evident by over 20% (per 100grams) of your recommended daily intake of fiber, manganese, vitamin C and vitamin K.

Blackberries have a world of applications in cooking recipes from blackberry pie to…blackberry cake…ummm… blackberry…muffin??? Alright, maybe not as impressive as apple but it is getting there as its popularity develops.

This article may have seemed like a STORM to you but as long as you now have an urge to swim in a pool full of blackberries as you devour them or a regular urge to eat the fruit, then I have completed my objective successfully.
