Blackberry seed oil is extracted from the tiny seeds found inside blackberries. The seeds are typically cold-pressed to release their oil, preserving its natural compounds. This process yields a light-colored oil with a mild flavor.
Why it's used
Blackberry seed oil is used as a nutritional ingredient in foods and beverages, particularly those marketed for energy or recovery. It is valued for its fatty acid profile and is often found in energy drinks, protein shakes, and bars.
Health notes

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar oils, but specific evaluations for blackberry seed oil's health effects at typical dietary intakes are limited. Research into its specific health benefits is ongoing.
