Everything in moderation! Also - Be very wary of where you pick your blackberries from... In UK especially, there is a tendency to pick them from hedges and roadside bushes. This can prove detremental!
Not only do the bushes accumillate roadside exhaust emissions, but pick them from a hedge next to a farmers crop field and you could be risking a pesticidal concentrated berry. This is due to the year on year effect of exposure to the adjacent pesticide spraying. Just be wary! DO NOT eat them next to a crop field, you could be eating a ROUND-UP cocktail!
I always get mine from either the woods or hedgerows next to grazing pasture land....
An excellent source of summer 'booty' and free! Great article man!

Good point, I'm lucky to live in an area that doesn't spray and there is not much traffic. As always observe before picking! Have a great day!
