Black Raspberry

Description

Black Raspberries are native to North America, and while they grow wild in many parts of the United States, they are only farmed commercially in Oregon, which grows 99% of the annual harvest. While they bear the Raspberry name, the Black Raspberry is much stronger in flavor than red or golden varietals and contain many more seeds. These uniquely sweet yet tart berries are blue/black in color, small and round in shape, and are of good firmness. Black raspberries have an extremely dark pigment, which makes them ideally suited to be used as a natural coloring agent. They have some of the highest antioxidant properties of all berries, and are the subject of numerous health benefits studies.
