Blackberry
Also called: blackberries, brombeere
Sweet-tart and cooling — a light Pitta-friendly berry.
How Blackberry affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Use sparingly | Can raise Vata — go easy when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Balancing | Calms Pitta — favour it when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Balancing | Calms Kapha — favour it when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
A touch drier than raspberry, so it can unsettle Vata; cooking to a compote softens that.
