Guest guest Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 RE: black raspberries Maybe I'll have to move back to Oregon or Washington in the summer so I can pick wild ones myself! Does this mean that all those huge, wild berries I thought were blackberries are really black raspberries??? If so, ! I was trying to figure out how I was going to keep myself from indulging in this avoid! I LOVE them and love to go out picking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 Sorry to tell you but the huge wild berries you spoke of are probably blackberries. Blackberries get much bigger then red or black raspberries. > Does this mean that all those huge, wild berries I thought were blackberries are really black raspberries???

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 Hi, ! Bad news! I just did a search for nberries, and they are a variety of blackberry. Boo hiss. Said they are the sweetest variety. No doubt that is why you like them. Better hit that Deflect stuff. LOL.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 Hi, ! Actually, the ones I am referring to really are wild black raspberries. To me, there isn't much that can top the taste of a fully ripe, just-picked-off-the-vine black raspberry, warm from the sun. (Yeah, yeah, I know, if you want to preserve them, it's best to pick them cool. But to eat right there, warm is best.)

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Below article from Fresh Plaza Newsletter might be of interest to some of you. Black raspberries are rare in supermarkets, aren't they? ============= US: Black raspberries inhibit cancer Flavonoids in black raspberries not only inhibit the growth of cancer, but they also cause cancer cells to commit suicide. Researchers at the Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center found that a class of flavonoids found in black raspberries called anthocyanins, slow the growth of cancer and caused cancer cells to commit suicide in rats with esophageal cancer. “Our data provide strong evidence that anthocyanins are important for cancer prevention,†said D. Stoner, Ph.D., a professor in the department of internal medicine at Ohio State University. Stoner and his colleagues fed rats an extract of black raspberries rich in anthocyanins, which they found was almost as effective as whole berry powder used in clinical trials in humans which required patients to take up to 60 grams (2.1 ounces) of powder daily. “Now that we know the anthocyanins in berries are almost as active as whole berries themselves, we hope to be able to prevent cancer in humans using a standardized mixture of anthocyanins,†Stoner said. The study results are published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
