The blackberry, plump and sweet, is closely related to the raspberry but is larger and juicier, with a grainier texture and a more assertive flavor. The core does not separate from the fruit. Although blackberries grow wild in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, they're Asian in origin.
Health Benefits: Blackberries are a mild diuretic and astringent and are therefore useful for diarrhea, dysentery, and hemorrhoids. The Romans used them as a gout treatment. They are rich in vitamin C and pectin.

Organic Champagne Grapes, lb
Out of Season
(July - Aug) A variety of grape that is grown in clusters that produce very small diameter grapes. It is a seedless grape that provides a very sweet flavor for salads, appetizers or as a snack with cheese. The stem, which is also very tiny and tender, is often consumed with the grape rather than attempting to detatch the small connector from the main stem. Champagne grapes that are dried are referred to as currants, a name derived from this variety also being called the Zante Currant grape. Although it may be confused with common black, red or white currants that grow on bushes, it is similar only in shape and size, but is not the same type of fruit. The dried grape that becomes a currant is often used like raisins as an ingredient when baking cookies and sweets. In addition to Zante Currant, this grape may all be known as a Black Corinth grape.
