It’s blackberry season! Lucy Upton, our resident Lucy Upton 🍓 Children’s Dietitian & Feeding Specialist, explains why blackberries are one of the most underrated berries out there for your tot:
💜 A 50g portion provides nearly 3g of fibre - around a fifth of a toddler’s daily requirement
☀️ They can provide up to a third of a toddler’s vitamin C needs
🧠 Their deep purple colour comes from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that have been linked with memory and cognitive function
🌹One final fun fact… Blackberries are part of the rose family!
