20? 50? 75?I frickin hate blackberry seeds...I make a shake with mixed berries every day and i try to pick out the blackberries but if I miss just one, every gulp of my shake litters my mouth with 10-15 seeds (each of the mini-berries has its own seed).And I can't swallow the seeds or chew them. I end up having to rinse my mouth out several times before the shake is through.Stupid blackberries.Like I said, I try my best to pick out the blackberries. I use a blend of mixed berries in my shake because they taste good and are healthy, but the blend includes blackberries that I TRY to eliminate.I'm simply curious because it seems like there are hundreds!

If you can't stand the seeds, then it doesn't really matter how many seeds there are, does it!Why not try straining out the seeds before you drink your shake. Or crush the blackberries and strain out the seeds before you put them in the blender.

Who is making you drink that? If you don't like the seeds common sense would dictate you try something else like bananas or add vanilla flavoring.

Why don't you simply buy the berries that you DO like separately? I mean instead of the mixed bag. For instance, buy one of strawberries, one of blueberries, one of whichever ones you want. It may or may not cost more than the mixed, but you won't have to be picking things out & spitting the whole time you should be enjoying your shake LOL.To answer your question regarding how many seeds however: each blackberry is not actually made up of mini-berries; it just looks like it is. Each little seed-ball is actually surrounding the single berry's inner core. And I've never tried counting them - but agree with you - just a couple of them do seem to have hundreds of seeds!
