The blackberry is an edible fruit produced by any of several species in the Rubus genus of the Rosaceae family.

Blackberries and raspberries are also called caneberries or brambles. It is a widespread, and well known group of over 375 species, many of which are closely related apomictic microspecies native throughout the temperate northern hemisphere and South America.

Blackberrying is one of the most widespread foraging activities to continue today, and they have been picked commercially in many areas.
As well as their many culinary uses, blackberries have been used to obtain a purple dye. A fibre can be obtained from the stem and the leaves can be dried and used as a substitute for tea .
The leaves and roots have been used to treat diarrhea, dysentery, and cystitis, and can be made into a gargle for sore throats mouth ulcers and other sores.
