Caution if you have teeth

fthunt — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 15:05:19 GMT

Jimmy The Baker's muffins - Black Berry ones to be specific. Now I know why Blue Berries often used in baked goods. The "Blues" smash down = no seeds. Not the same for Black Berries - caution - you chomp away and suddenly your teeth can't meet. (uppers and lowers) Seeds - whole Black Berries according to the Baker. I guess it could do damage to (whatever) is in your mouth...but it's very distressing after paying $$.

(might also damage children's young teeth)

I thought everyone one was aware of that. Also, red raspberries have seeds. You can buy seedless black & red raspberry jams and jellies but they are more expensive.

No, the seeds are very small. They do not damage teeth.

Around here they are a pest found in disturbed soil. A favorite thing is to amble out with a wagon, pails, kids and dogs for an afternoon. Jam here we come. Just pick higher than a dog, if you get my drift.

One dog is so funny, she bares her teeth and gets one, just one, from amongst the thorns.

LOL If we have teeth? I think most of us have teeth of some sort or another!

I ordered the blackberry loaves and I appreciate your warning. Thanks!

You post made me revisit the wild raspberries a friend gave us. I had a bowl of raspberries and milk and the small wild ones are pure seeds! I threw them out!

I beg to differ.

How could a little seed damage your tooth?

AuntG — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 17:38:28 GMT

That's why I get seedless jams.

The seeds are so small they can lodge between your teeth and gums. Rots your teeth and gums. Unless you floss religiously.

Wild blackberries are the ones I am familiar and yes those could damage a tooth! I never buy blackberries because of the seeds. They are awful.

Maybe some varieties hybridized for commercial use are better, but the wild ones at least where I grew up are filled with hard seeds. Sometimes we'd sieve them for a cobbler but that was a mess.

People can always remove their dentures and enjoy these kind of berries.

nothing uglier or will age you worse then yellow teeth. Just paid the dentist to bleach mine. I steer clear of any seeded thing except strawberries.

Mother in law used to strain blackberries thru a strainer to get the seeds out of blackberry jelly sounds like that one gal didn't bother.

that would cramp me all night trying to pass those things. No seeds for me !

Not much can be done about my teeth. We tried lightening mine after I got my braces off before I got my crowns replaced. My top front 4 teeth are crowns. No luck on the whitening. I have been told that if you have grey in your teeth vs yellowing they won't lighten. That was verified by a dental expert when I went to a presentation on dental procedures. And then I won some whitening procedures. I gave it to my friend. I'm not allowed to use any whitening toothpastes because of severe tooth sensitivity. Love blackberries. Hate the seeds though, but it wouldn't keep me from buying baked goods with them.

yeah, they told me the bleach wouldn't work on fillings, crowns

thank God my one filling on the top is back away, out of the smile area.

pretty well satisfied told her I didn't want piano keys teeth or news reporter teeth. Fakey. Mine just looks natural. Hated yellow teeth makes U look

like hillbilly. LOL
