Fresh Blackberries
 
There's a new crop in from Mexico. Incredibly juicy, sweet and the size of my thumb. Cheap too at 0.67 per 5oz./170g package.

LOL. As big as these blackberries. Seriously though, just from the first joint to the tip and definitely as big around.

Ah, lucky you, our season for them is well gone. We are lucky, though, the wild brambles around here are wonderful!

From Mexico, eh? I hope they've got their papers with them.

Still beautiful, delicious and available at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market. I'm buying a couple of baskets tomorrow AM

Wonderful crop of blackberries in our garden this season. My wife has been making some jam with them.

The Argentinians seem to call them raspberries for some reason. :confused:

Raspberries and Blackberries were all beautiful this morning at the Farmer's Market. The raspberries were unusually large and very very sweet.

My local Meijers had these for 50 cents a carton. Yummy.

The farmers market is into winter crops here now, the local blackberries harvested a while back, but these Mexican blackberries are really good. Better than the RIM variety ;)

I eat mexican produce all the time, it is very high quality. I even shop at the mexican market and specifically get mexican produce of some varieties, it is just better than the other stores when the farmers market doesnt have (or I didn't buy enough is the main thing!)

Where are you finding them in the DC area for that price, if you don't mind revealing your source? :) Thanks!

€2.80 for a150g punnet of Mexican blackberries in my local supermarket. Mix them with Bramley cooking apples and they make the most delicious Pie.;)

I'd rather have raspberries, but the blackberries are much cheaper right now.
