What is the scientific name of blackberry?
Actually "Blackberry" can be a number of species of Rubus:
Such as Rubus ursinus (i.e. California or Pacific Blackberry);
Rubus argutus (i.e. Southern Blackberry);
or Rubus fruticosus (i.e. European Blackberry).
In the case of R. fruticosus the botanists are making it very confusing if this is even a species anymore due to the labyrinth of "sub-genera" and "sections".
Other species include:
Rubus alleghiensis (i.e. Allegheny Blackberry);
Rubus canadensis (i.e. Smooth Blackberrry)
Rubus laciniatus (i.e. Cut-Leaf or Evergreen Blackberry)
Rubus ulmifolius (i.e. Elm-Leaf Blackberry).
There are also many "wild varieties" that are too numerous to mention.
Go to this website for a complete listing of all Rubus (related links).
Also it should be mentioned that all of these species of "blackberry" are being crossed with a multitude of "raspberries" creating hybrids that will make it even more confusing in the future to derive a specific species for any particular blackberry you see in the supermarket, let alone the wild varieties crossing with each other on the side of the road.
How much does a pint of blackberries weigh in ounces?

How long will frozen blackberries last?
Roughly 3 or 4 days, tops. Berries go bad quickly. You can double that by using those "green" bags that extend the shelf-life of produce. Also, the berries on the bottom of the carton, which have been crushed, are the first to go, and also the first to start developing mold. At the three-day mark, the bottom may be trash but the berries on the top may still be edible. If any berry is not whole, or is crushed, discard it.

Where does Himalayan blackberry grow?
Himalayan blackberry [Rubus armeniacus] tolerates a wide range of soil textures and soil pHs. For example, it handles barren, infertile soils. But there are three conditions that Himalayan blackberry prefers: sun, soils that are moist or wet, and sites that have been disturbed. It particularly likes locations along rivers and streams, or in creek gullies. For it counts on its seeds being spread not just by birds and mammals, but also by waterbodies. Indeed, its seeds can survive long distance travel by water. It also likes room in which to spread, such as along roadsides, and in pastures. For another way that it reproduces is by its long canes arching down to the ground and rooting.
Mice will usually eat blackberries, if they are offered.

Do blackberries have carbohydrates?
A 1-cup serving of grapes contains 16 grams of carbohydrate, of which 1 gram is fiber and 15 grams are sugars. Since fiber is not digested and doesn't increase blood sugar levels, it is often subtracted from the carbohydrate content when counting carbs, so 1 cup is a suitable portion for grapes.
