Picking Blackberries
The ripe blackberries are soft to the touch and easily detach from the vine. On the other hand, berries that are firm, or hard to detach are not quite ripe and may taste sour. The ripe blackberries are dull in appearance. The shiny blackberry is not quite ripe and will taste sour. Taste test a berry for your preference. Blackberries are very delicate. Pick the blackberries in the box that you are given at the farm. Always keep the blackberry box on top of other fruit.
