Blackberries are so much more than a dessert fruit staple. Not only are they able to help keep you looking younger, but they can also protect your skin from the sun’s UVA/UVB (ultraviolet) damage.
It is the anthocyanocides and polyphenols, two types of antioxidants, that help to halt the aging process by fighting free radicals. And it is their richness in vitamin C and vitamin A that helps to protect you from getting skin damage whilst you are out in the sun. Blackberries also help your skin stay looking young because they are 85% water, which helps to detoxify the skin of dead skin cells.
Try these simple, yet delicious recipes that are bursting with blackberry goodness.
1. Blackberry Fennel Pizza
When choosing fresh blackberries for your pizza topping, ensure you rinse them only just before you plan on eating them. Do not do it in advance as they will go soggy and therefore rot faster.
Blackberries are also rich in omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids which are vital for brain and skin health.
