But first a few interesting details about the blackberry:<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>

The blackberry harvest<\/span><\/h3>\n

The aromatic fruits are harvested with a special tool that resembles a comb. Hence the name “Blaubeer-Kamm” and “Heidelbeer-Rechen”, also known as “Riffel”, “Raffel” and “Schwoazbearkampe” in the local dialect. The “teeth” of the comb strip off the berries and these are then collected in a container underneath.<\/p>\n

A true superfood<\/span><\/h3>\n

Blackberries are rich in vitamins C and E, zinc and potassium. They also contain folic acid and iron, as well as tannins and plant dyes. These are important for cell renewal and cell protection, have an anti-inflammatory effect and strengthen the immune system.
\nAn additional plus: the small wild berries are low in calories and sugar – and can therefore often be found in recipes for losing weight.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A special treat for the palate: “Schwarzbeernockerln”<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you rummage a little in old literature, you will learn that “Moosbeernocken” was once a dessert among the lumberjacks. The dish is also described as “an old “Saturday lunch” from Tyrol”. For many people without land and without fruit trees, wild berries were an important source of food and vitamins.
