Worldwide, Mexico is the leading producer of

blackberries, with nearly the entire crop being

produced for export into the off-season fresh

markets in North America and Europe.

History: Blackberries have been used in Europe

for over 2000 years.

Storing: Refrigerator: 2-3 days Frozen: 10-12

months. Don’t wash until ready to eat.

1) Much like spinach, raisins, apples, plums and

grapes, blackberries are rich in bioflavonoids and

Vitamin C, but other nutritional benefits include a

very low sodium count and having only 62 calories

to a cup.

2) The dark blue color ensures blackberries have

one of the highest antioxidant levels of all fruits.

Antioxidants, well-known for lowering the risk of

cancers, are a huge bonus, but be

aware the berries are best consumed in their

natural state to get the full benefits.

3) The berries are known as brambleberries,

bramble, dewberry, thimbleberry and lawers.

4) Consumption of blackberries can help to

promote the tightening of tissue, which is a great

non-surgical procedure to make skin look younger.

Prolonged consumption also helps keep your brain

alert, thereby maintaining clarity of thought and

good memory.

5) The high tannin content of blackberries provides

a number of benefits to reduce intestinal

inflammation. It is important to incorporate berries

in your diet in a variety of ways. Have them as a

snack or in your cereal or even as a smoothie.

6) Traditionally, the leaves and barks of the plant

have also been consumed. The leaves of

blackberries have been used to treat mild

inflammation of the gums and sometimes even sore

throats.

7) The astringent tannins are effective in oral

hygiene when used as a gargle or mouthwash.

8) The leaves can also be used in a refreshing cup

of tea or enhanced as a therapeutic drink. Noteveryone will like the flavor, so to mask the bitter

taste, honey or another form of sweetener may be

added.

9) The healthy dose of Vitamin K aids in muscle

relaxing.

History

Raspberries are believed to have originated mainly in Eastern Asia. The red raspberry

may have been brought to North America by prehistoric people who crossed the Bering

Straight and then introduced them to North America, although the wild black raspberryis believed to be native to the west.

George Washington is known to have cultivated raspberries at Mount Vernon and by

the time of the Civil War there were at least 40 known varieties.

Raspberries are grown commercially in most U.S. States, but the state of Washington

leads the way with 70 million tons per year in production. The raspberry is also an im-

portant crop in Oregon, California and much of the Midwest.

How to Select and Store

There are usually two crops of raspberries: June, and Fall . In the U.S., the first crop ofraspberries typically peaks during June in the South, and in July in the North.

The Fall crop starts in late July and late August respectively and continues till frost.Crops may be ready at various times of the month depending on which part of the stateyou are located. In order to produce good local Raspberries, producers depend aspring and summer that are not too hot and dry, nor too wet.

History: Nectarines history is linked with the peach and it appears China is our place of

origin. However, records show that they came to Europe from Persia, and then into England

in the 16th century. From there they spread into the New World.

They probably were grown in Australia from the early days of European settlement.

Description: They are a stone fruit and are related to peaches, cherries, plums and loquats.

They grow on trees and are a bit like peaches without the fuzz. The smooth skin is red in

color on a yellow to pale yellow background whilst our flesh can vary from almost white,

yellow to almost red. Each of them have a pointed, furrowed, egg-shaped seed in the middle

which either comes away easily (freestone), or is difficult to remove (clingstone).

Taste: Delightfully sweet with just a hit of acid

Store at room temperature to complete ripening. Refrigerate only when fruit is soft

Did you know?

Also Known As “Carmbola Fruit”

Description Starfruit is also known as carambola. Starfruit is native to Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka. The

fruit in cross section is a fivepointed star, hence its name. The skin is green to yellowish, slightly waxy and

edible. The juicy flesh is yellow, transparent with a single black edible seed. The flavor of the fruit is fresh and

slightly sweet and comparable to a mix of papaya, orange and grapefruit all at once. The riper starfruit is

yellow and can have some brown edges. The taste is much sweeter.

There are two varieties of star fruit (carambola fruit) are available for purchase. One is the smaller sized

carambola, which has a strong, sour taste, and the other is the larger sized carambola, which has a mild and

sweet taste. When purchasing carambola fruit, make sure that the fruit is firm to the touch. If you are picking

carambola fruit directly from a tree, you can store the fruit for up to four weeks in your home as long as you

pick the fruit when it first appears as yellow on the vine and you store it at an approximate temperature of

50ºF. If you store the fruit at a higher temperature, the fruit will ripen quicker.

History It is thought to have originated south of India, in Sri Lanka, and in the Moluccas.

Did you know? Unlike most tropical trees, the starfruit does not need much sunlight, but does need lots of

moisture.

Starfruit is also known as “Carambola”. Carambola was originally a Portuguese name, and goes back to theSanskrit “karmara”, which means ‘food appetizer’.

How to eat a Starfruit. Starfruit has a sweet, slightly tangy flavor. Some compare it to a blend of a pa-

paya, orange, and grapefruit, while others find it comparable to a mix of pineapple and lemon. The fruit can b

sliced and enjoyed on its own, but can can also be added to other dishes and drinks.

Each starfruit contains only 30 calories.
