Black raspberries (Rubus occidentalis L.) are a special variety of the more common red raspberry that’s native to North America. They’re also known as blackcaps, wild black raspberries, or thimbleberriesBlack raspberries have a bright, sweet, tart taste with rich, earthy, and woodsy berry-like nuances.Black raspberries are an excellent source of anthocyanins, pigments found in the fruit’s skin and flesh that contain antioxidant-like properties to reduce inflammation and fight against the damage caused by free radicals. The pigments within the fruit were also used as a natural dye in the early 20th century to stamp meat inspection labels for the USDA. Black raspberries provide vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, fiber to regulate the digestive tract, calcium to build strong bones and teeth, and other nutrients including iron, vitamin A, copper, and B vitamins.
