| Fresh from the bush or vine, berries are one of nature's sweetest, most delicious
foods. Naturally healthy and organic, wild berries are low in calories (averaging
about 80 calories per cup), and high in vitamin, potassium, iron and calcium
content. They are also a wonderful source of natural fiber.
The mystique of the little Wild Mountain Blackberry began over 150 years ago,
when Pacific Northwest pioneers first began picking these Pacific Northwest
native, trailing vine wild berries. Quickly, they discovered that the tiny berries
possessed a unique tartness and sweet flavor unsurpassed by any other. By the
turn of this century, everyone from farmers to city folk prized little wild
mountain blackberries as the crown jewels.
The scientific name given to little wild mountain blackberries is Rubus ursinus.
Other common names include Pacific Trailing Blackberry and Northwest Dewberry.
When we picked them as kids, they were simply "little wild blackberries."
No matter what you call them, little Wild Mountain Blackberries, the only blackberry
native to the Pacific Northwest, are utterly delicious. They taste like cotton
candy.
The tart, intense flavor and small size of this native blackberry makes it
perfect for classic It is no wonder the renowned James Beard called Wild Mountain
Blackberries "the uncrowned king of all wild berries."

Wild Berry Research Health Notes:
University of Idaho scientists Todd Taruscio, Jerry Exon, and Dan Barney recently
characterized some of the bioactive compounds found in wild blueberries, huckleberries,
and bilberries as part of a grant funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Initiative for Future Agricultural and Food Systems. Seven Vaccinium species
native to western North America were compared to highbush blueberries and half-high
blueberries (hybrids between highbush and lowbush blueberries). Traits of interest
included antioxidant capacity, total phenolics, total anthocyanins, flavanols,
phenolic acids, and anthocyanidins.
Research is now underway to determine how these fruits affect the development
of colon cancer.
