Boysenberry
What it is
Boysenberry is a bramble berry used as a whole fruit, in preserves, and in desserts. This profile describes unsweetened frozen berries.
What it does
For the named reference food, USDA lists 50 kcal, 12.2 g carbohydrate and 5.3 g fiber per 100 g edible portion. The table gives additional nutrients for that same food form. These figures describe composition, not an effect on a disease or a recommended serving.
Research context and ingredient forms
Reference food: Boysenberries, frozen, unsweetened. These are historical SR Legacy data from the April 2018 release, published in FoodData Central in 2019. A different variety, preparation, water content, or commercial recipe can change the result. For a matching food, a portion estimate scales each value by edible portion grams divided by 100.
Using this information
Use the unsweetened frozen profile for the berries themselves. Jam, syrup-packed fruit, and a berry dessert include ingredients that this record does not measure.
