Blackberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and E. Vitamin C helps to protect
against infections and cancers. Vitamin E is effective for heart and circulatory
problems. Blackberries are also a good source of potassium and fiber pectin.
Potassium functions as an electrolyte and is essential for the conversion of blood
sugar into glycogen. Glycogen is the storage form of blood sugar found in the
muscles and liver. Fiber pectin helps to eliminate cholesterol, and protects against
environmental toxins.
