collected for hundreds of years. Found on bramble bushes in late July,\u00a0August and September,\u00a0their berries\u00a0are black when ripe\u00a0and are tasty raw\u00a0or cooked (crumbles or jam are a great start). Brambles grow\u00a0almost anywhere and\u00a0can be identified\u00a0by their thorns and small\u00a0white flowers. To avoid mistaking\u00a0an unripe blackberry for a\u00a0raspberry,\u00a0check\u00a0the fruit\u2019s inside; blackberries have a core, while\u00a0raspberries are hollow. The best blackberries are often found in direct sunlight and pull easily off the branch.<\/p>\n<ul><li><a
