More Information
How to tell the difference between a blackberry and a black raspberry: Black raspberries are hollow in the center like a "mini cup" when picked because they leave the plant's core behind. Blackberries come off the stem with their core intact, making them solid in the center. Further, black raspberries have a crunchier texture and are covered in tiny white hairs, while blackberry drupelets are smooth. And finally,
black raspberries are noticeably sweeter than blackberries, which are typically tart.
