Blackberries are luscious little fruits. Seedy boogers, to be sure, but tasty. And if you do not grow your own, well then,
you are going to have to pay someone else to grow them for you.
Like any fruit, they are hit and miss. You can get super juicy tasty ones, and
sometimes you run into the hard, dry, not-so-good variety. No matter where you choose to pick them up it
is a gamble really. The best advice I can
give is wash them right before you eat (instead of washing them when you buy
and then storing them) and eat them shortly after you bring them home. Many a poor blackberry has turned into a hard
little rock by getting lost in the back of our refrigerator and forgotten. Sigh.

| Blackberries - tasty and healthy treats |
If blackberries are on your shopping list, Trader Joe’s
is a fine place to pick them up. They are
fresh, well packed, and usually very good.
We eat them on their own, in yogurt, on cereal, and everyone once in a
while on a fancy treat like this!!!!

You might find them cheaper every once in a while on sale
somewhere else, but Trader Joe’s are pretty consistently good.
Price - $3.99
