Fall is here and if your like me you are busy getting ready for the holiday season and watching a little football. Even though the the fresh blackberry harvest in North America is complete, you don't have to wait until spring to enjoy fresh blackberries. Fresh blackberry production has grown exponentially in Mexico and it supplies North America and other parts of the world with blackberries from October through June. The two factors for the exponential growth of blackberries in Mexico are their many positive health attributes and the Tupi variety.
Positive Health Benefits:
According to a study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, fresh blackberries contained the largest amount of Antioxidants per serving compared to other fruits, vegetables and nuts. In fact, blackberries ranked first ahead of walnuts, strawberries, artichokes and cranberries. Blackberries are notable for their high nutritional content of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid and the essential mineral, manganese.
Tupi Variety:
The Tupi blackberry is a hybrid variety, that is an offspring of the Comanche and Uruguai varieties. This variety is the main variety in Mexico. The Tupi variety produces large fruits with black and uniform coloration and a perfectly balanced flavor that hovers between acidity and sugar. Its long, uninterrupted growing season from October to June allows consumers to enjoy fresh Tupi blackberries long after the end of the growing season in North America.
So enjoy that crisp fall day watching football and snacking on some great tasting Tupi variety blackberries from south of the border. That is what I will be doing. Go Bears!
