Blackberries are rich in antioxidants, including anthocyanins and ellagic acid. They also contain vitamin C, vitamin K, and dietary fiber. The plant contains tannins, which can have astringent properties.
Blackberries are widely used for their edible fruits, which are consumed fresh or processed into jams, pies, and other desserts. The leaves and roots have been used in traditional medicine for their astringent properties, and they are sometimes used to treat diarrhea and other digestive issues. The plant is also used in landscaping for its ornamental value.
