They are ripe when they are a deep purple and a very plump and soft to the touch - that's around August on the West coast.
They taste very sweet - sweeter than blueberries but not as tangy as raspberries.

Blackberries are ripe when they are a very dark purple/black. They are slightly more sour than raspberries. Use them in the same type of recipes that call for raspberries or eat plain.

They are sour if not ripe. When ripe they are soft, black and juicy. Delicious.
