Origins
Did you know that blackberry shrubs can also produce raspberries? The genus Rubus includes a huge number of species and is one of the truly complex ones when it comes to classification. For us, it's enough to know that among the representatives of the Rubus family are blackberries and our beloved raspberries.
The plant that produces blackberries is a creeping shrub called Rubus plicatus. The fruit can be eaten raw, but it's also often added to desserts, juices, syrups, or jams.
However, right now we're more interested in the leaves. Blackberry shrubs long branches that bend towards the ground and can take root when they come into contact with the soil. They are usually covered with thorns. The leaves are three to five-pointed, the flowers are white, and the fruit is dark red, purple or yellow. These shrubs grow almost all over the world. Some seek shade, others love the sun.
You can find them around woods, along roadsides or on grassy hillsides. Blackberry leaves are rich in tannins and fiber and contain vitamins A, B, C and iron as well as potassium. The beverage you make from them will support normal respiratory function and regular blood sugar levels.
