Blackberry, botanical name Robus fruticosus is a wild plant commonly found in the northern part of Europe. The plant has a medicinal benefit and it's used in herbal medicine purposefully for antidiabetic, antioxidant, antidiarrheal, anticancer and for microbial. Other contents of the fruit are Gallic acid, iron and villain. Further, the fruit has nicotinic acid, pectin, sugar and anthocyanins available in vitamin C. The fruit equally has some contents of physicochemical such as protein, pH, soluble solids, reducing sugar and total acid. The aforementioned chemicals are also available in the leaves and roots as well according to the investigation of England.

The fruit equally has some contents of physicochemical such as protein, pH, soluble solids, reducing sugar and total acid. The aforementioned chemicals are also available in the leaves and roots as well according to the investigation of England. However, there exist variances in the content of chemicals realised in the medicinal use with the highest level of protein found to be 2% consequently;the existence of antioxidant actions and butylated hydroxyanisole is studied to be 85.07%. Jones (1980) observed that blackberry has a high rate of preference in the British not because of its sweetness, but also for its ability to cure various diseases. However, there are specific species with medicinal value though the species is traceable. Lima (2014) in his research, found that blackberry's roots are very instrumental in the treatment of diarrhoea while the leaves are commonly used in the treatment of whooping cough. Additionally, Aguilara (2008) argued that concoctions extracted from the roots are used for labour pain and also contains tennis and saponins. In the same regards, its leaves are equally used to cure the pain in an etching tooth and also contain tannins and flavonoids. Besides these, the plant is so necessary because of the existence of its high nutritional content evident in datary fibre, mineral manganese as well as vitamins C and K (Jurikova 2011).
According to Jones (1980), blackberry shrub is a persistent plant with thorny stem and extensive wood. They never grow tall, however; a well-maintained plant in rare cases can reach a height of 5 meters. Aguilara (2008) emphasize that the plant is so beneficial in many ways. It contains a large amount of antioxidant which is instrumental in the body is in various ways. Its element comprising of flavonoids, flavonol and phenolic acid are applicable in counteracting harmful none oxygenic molecules. However, Lima (2014) added that this preventive forage activity protects the body from various diseases and the effects of oxidation damages caused in the cells. In Jurikova (2008) findings, the fruit is very instrumental in the prevention of cancer specifically lung cancer, oesophagus and colon cancer. This is so because of the existence of micronutrients available in its' exerts with chemical preventive effect preventing the propagation of the spiteful cell. However, several types of re have been conducted on blackberry which in most cases have shown that anti-cancer is in plenty in the plant with anthocyanins and photochemical also available. Further, allergic acids and cyaniding-3-glucoside which protect the growth of tumours and metastasis are also available (Aguilara2008). Proving of the chemical contents available in the plant is performed Folin Ciocalteau method modified from microplate reader. Gallic acid is administered in the standard and results are articulated in milligrams of equivalence Gallic acid (mg GAE). Proxylredical scavenging capacity determination (Lima 2004).
This is observed by the rate at which oxygen is absorbed. The result is worked out in various areas through the use of fluorescent decay curves between the sample and the blank portrayed as 1M equivalence. According to Jones (1980), the plant is traditionally used in the management of diarrhoea. Its sweet scent makes it used as a mouth wash as well as the prevention of ulcers. This is through the pleasant gargle many from the barriers. Equally, the plant is used in the cure of wounds and bruises through its poultices and compresses. The plant serves a lot of purposes ranging from food down to medicinal benefit. In some circumstances, it is used as food colourant as well as a natural dye. Traditional, it serves as medicinal value through the use of the leaves and extracts from the roots. Nonetheless, it is also applicable for use of modern medicine through the extraction of the chemicals in it

Therefore, do not just pay attention to the flavour, it is medicine and should be taken regularly for a healthy body.
