Blackberry

A blackberry is a small, round fruit that grows on bushes of the Rubus genus, which are part of the rose family. The fruit is an aggregate of many small drupelets, each containing a seed. Blackberries are native to Europe, North America, and northern Asia, and they are widely cultivated for their sweet-tart flavor and high nutritional value. In Hebrew, blackberries are known as תות שחור (tut shachor). In French, they are called mûres, while in German, they are referred to as Brombeeren. Blackberries are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a popular choice for both fresh consumption and various culinary applications, such as jams, desserts, and beverages. The plants are also known for their hardiness and ability to grow in a variety of climates and soil conditions.

Fruit of Rubus species
Blackberry
The blackberry is an edible fruit ("berry") produced by many species in the genus Rubus in the family Rosaceae, hybrids among these species within the subgenus Rubus, and hybrids between the subgenera Rubus and Idaeobatus. The taxonomy of blackberries has historically been confused because of hybridization and apomixis so that species have often been grouped together and called species aggregates.
