Blackberry Juice

"One look will tell you that these dark-colored berries are full of antioxidant pigments."
This delicious fruit has been cultivated in Europe for thousands of years, not only as food; the Europeans also used blackberry juice to treat mouth and eye infections. The North American Natives incorporated this wild bramble into their diet and made tea from its leaves to help reduce vomiting and aid digestion. In Oregon, you will find blackberry bushes everywhere, offering abundant free fruit in season. And stopping to take the time for some old-fashioned berry picking would be a healthy choice.

Phytochemicals & Antioxidants in Blackberry Juice
If you are interested in eating the best anti-cancer, anti-aging foods this planet has to offer, then it would be good to become familiar with the acronym, ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity). This is now a universally recognized method of rating a food’s antioxidant capacities. And blackberries are in the ORAC top-ten list. Ronald Wrolstad, professor of food science and technology at Oregon State University, says, “In the past, we would have said the main reason to eat blackberries was the vitamin C . . . Today, we’re learning that blackberries are rich in polyphenolics, including anthocyanin pigments.” One look will tell you that these dark-colored berries are full of antioxidant pigments. Also the seeds are high in ellagic acid, which protects from cancer.
