The wild blackberry harvest season, known locally as “murra”, is in full swing. This intense purple fruit is polydrupe, meaning it is composed of small drupes or drupeoli arranged in clusters. Its maturation process is gradual, allowing for an excellent balance of flavor and nutritional properties.
According to data from the Chilean Ministry of Agriculture, the wild blackberry is a highly popular fruit in the country. It also has wide application in culinary preparations such as jams, jellies, pastries, and other gastronomic products. However, its value goes beyond its culinary use, as it possesses antioxidant properties and health benefits that make it an ally of the daily diet.
At Bayas del Sur, we value the natural wealth of wild blackberries and work with various cultivated varieties and also with wild blackberries from Patagonia, which stand out for their greater antioxidant capacity. Our goal is to offer products of the highest quality that contribute to the well-being of our consumers.
Due to its high iron content, blackberries are used to prevent and combat anemia. Recent studies have also proven that the high content of flavonoids (similar to those found in red wines) contributes to preventing cancer and lowering cholesterol levels.
Wild blackberries are a low-calorie fruit due to their low carbohydrate content, making them a favorable food to help metabolism. Regular consumption can contribute to a balanced diet and promote a healthy lifestyle.
