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.

When to go easy

A touch drier than raspberry, so it can unsettle Vata; cooking to a compote softens that.
