...make a berry nice breakfast,
especially when combined
with home-grown strawberries
and creamy yoghurt.
I didn't expect to find blackberries ripe already when I took a walk up the road yesterday, but Sunday's heat probably helped bring them on. Since I wasn't expecting to find them, I didn't take anything to put them in, so I had to improvise with a hanky knotted at the corners. It was just big enough for the 370g of berries I harvested.
Blackberries are of course not really wild, but positively feral, and a noxious weed to boot. However, they are at least good for human health, being full of Vitamins A and C, plus phenolic acids. Like the vitamins, these are antioxidant compounds which help protect against cancer, and have other health benefits as well. So do yourself and the wider environment a favour, and pick and eat as many as you can.
