A little bit of history

Known since time immemorial, and probably native to the Caucasus Mountains in Asia Minor, the blackberry has certainly been part of the daily diet of Neolithic hunter-gatherers.Present everywhere, this perennial shrub, creeping (and prickly!), is often considered an invasive plant.

The blackberry is invited into the Greek mythology: it would come from the blood of the Titans, shed during their struggles against the gods.

In the fifteenth century, the blackberry is consumed as an appetizer, with the crunch, quite simply.
