Description
Blackberry seed oil comes from the pips left over when blackberries are made into juice, purée and seedless jam. The seeds are sieved from the pulp, washed, dried at low temperature and pressed. Only around a tenth of each pip is oil, so a large volume of fruit is needed to fill one drum. The oil is pale yellow to light green with a faint green, fruity smell.
