Blackberries have many health-promoting properties. Thanks to their content of powerful antioxidants, they are one of the main components of an anti-cancer diet. Blackberries are also a rich source of fiber, which reduces the absorption of unhealthy fats and thus reduces the risk of heart disease. In addition, they speed up metabolism, making them a desirable component of a weight-loss diet. Blackberries can prevent eye diseases. Thanks to their high content of vitamin C and E, they can reduce the risk of developing the dangerous macular degeneration. The risk of this chronic, progressive eye disease is also reduced by the aforementioned anthocyanins, which fight any inflammation of the retina and reduce high blood pressure. Blackberries support the cardiovascular system thanks to their content of 3 substances:

• anthocyanins - they increase the elasticity of capillaries and strengthen and detoxify the heart;
• vitamin C, which increases cellular immunity. The daily requirement for vitamin C is 70 mg. Blackberries contain 21 mg of this valuable vitamin in 100g, so a glass of blackberries covers 60 percent of the daily requirement for ascorbic acid;
• fiber - one glass of blackberries covers 30 percent of the daily requirement for fiber, which reduces the absorption of unhealthy fats and thus reduces the risk of heart disease.

In addition, blackberries contain two interacting minerals: calcium and magnesium, which are involved in the formation of bone tissue. Blackberries are among the products with a low glycemic index (blackberries' GI = 25), and can therefore be consumed by diabetics. The results of their study show that blackberries effectively inhibit the action of two key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism - alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase. Researchers assume that blackberries may be as effective as anti-diabetic drugs.

Freeze-dried - "freeze-dried" - fruits are an ideal choice for a healthy and natural snack. Thanks to the freeze-drying process, fruits retain their full flavor, aroma and most of their nutritional value, while having a longer shelf life. They allow you to enjoy your favorite fruit flavor even out of season. Freeze-dried fruits are incredibly light, making an amount of 30-50 g a large package. They are an excellent alternative to not-so-healthy sweets or other highly processed snacks. We can take a packet of freeze-dried fruits with us for a second breakfast to school, work... it is a great healthy and "trendy" snack.

APPLICATION: They are perfect as an addition to muesli, granola, oatmeal, yogurt or smoothies, adding natural sweetness and intense fruit flavor. They can also be used in baked goods such as cakes, muffins, cookies, waffles or cakes. They will also work well as a natural (and delicious!) food coloring for icing or cream. Freeze-dried fruits are also a great ingredient in desserts, ice cream or salads, and can be eaten on their own as a healthy alternative to sweets!

To produce 100g of freeze-dried blackberries, we used about 700g** of fresh blackberries
