Perfectly ripe berries
release their juice...
Perfectly ripe, freshly picked Kamchatka berries are extremely fragile. Their delicate skin is easily damaged, which can lead to juice leakage.
This is a completely natural phenomenon, and does not mean that the fruit is spoiled.
On the contrary, the leaking juice is a testament to their perfect ripeness and freshness!

What makes the haskap berry stand out from other fruits?
Haskap berries contain up to 3 times more vitamin C than oranges!
Vitamin C is widely known for its antioxidant properties and immune system strengthening. However, few people know that it also plays a key role in collagen synthesis, wound healing and iron absorption.

This unique plant, which we grow in the immediate, ecologically clean vicinity of the Poleski National Park, has unique properties in the context of providing the body with this valuable vitamin.

Scientific research indicates that Kamchatka berries are a real treasure due to their high concentration of anthocyanins.
These natural compounds act as stronger antioxidants than popular vitamins such as E, beta-carotene or C.
In addition, the polyphenols contained in the berries effectively neutralize and prevent the formation of free radicals, thanks to which they play an important role in preventing lifestyle diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
Fresh haskap berries contain as much as 4 grams of fiber!
Therefore, eating haskap berries brings a number of health benefits, including regulating digestion, supporting weight management, improving heart health, stabilizing blood sugar levels, supporting healthy gut flora, and preventing intestinal diseases.
That is why it is worth including these fruits in your daily diet to maintain optimal health.
It is assumed that 100 g of fresh haskap berries contain from 30.5 to as much as 186.6 mg of vitamin C!
