I was eating blackberries from the forest yesterday, and spitting the seeds out as I walked around my yard, and then I realized in horror what I was doing.

I have never in all my years of eating blackberries heard of anyone spitting the seeds out.

I noticed the .uk in your name and now I’m wondering if British blackberries have smaller seeds? Some of the blackberries around here (Tennessee/us south in general) have massive, and incredibly hard, seeds. We’re talking 1/4 the size of a pea. But the berries themselves are also huge. Size of my thumb or bigger.

We don’t have this problem in Canada. So maybe it’s a southern thing?

The .uk is just from the instance that I joined, I am in the US Southeast. I’ve eaten blackberries all over Alabama, Tennessee, and North Carolina. I guess I just have a higher tolerance for crunching up seeds than some people.

I don’t spit them all out, but there’s usually a few big ones left stuck in my mouth at the end. They’re too tiny to swallow though, so it’s easiest to just spit them out.
