Blackberry Punnet

Blackberry Punnet

Our Blackberries are deep, glossy black-purple, made up of tightly packed drupelets that deliver a juicy burst with every bite. The flavour leans more towards tart than sweet compared to other berries, with a deep, slightly earthy richness that's distinctly its own. As part of our Fresh Fruits range, each punnet is selected for colour and firmness.
