  • Facts about Haskap berries:

    1. THEY ARE A HONEYSUCKLE. The haskap berry, also known as the honeyberry, is an edible blue honeysuckle, native to northern hemisphere countries including Canada, Japan and Russia.

    2. THEY LOVE THE COLD. Haskap berries grow on deciduous leafy bushes which have an amazing ability to survive hostile, freezing northern winters.

    3. THEY ARE NOT BLUEBERRIES. Haskaps are oval-rectangular in shape, often compared to blueberries. However, the humble haskap knocks blueberries out of the park.

    4. HIGH IN ANTIOXIDENTS. With triple the antioxidants and four times the anthocyanins* of blueberries (plus high levels of vitamin C), the haskap berry stands head and shoulders above the blueberry in both flavour and nutritional content. *Anthocyanins are the red-blue pigments in berries. Anthocyanins have been credited with capacity to modulate cognitive and motor function, to enhance memory, and to have a role in preventing age-related declines in neural function.

    5. UNIQUE FLAVOUR. Haskap berries are deliciously different, with a unique flavour profile described as a blend of tangy and sweet.

    6. THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME HASKAP. The haskap was named by the indigenous Ainu people of northern Japan, as the haskap (has-ka-o-p) meaning ‘many fruits on branches.’ The news about this incredible superberry spread as other Japanese settled in Hokkaido. They learned about the nutritional benefits of haskap from the Ainu people and went on to cultivate wild haskap berries, refining the taste and Incorporating them into their diet. The Ainu embraced the haskap as the ‘berry of long life and good eyesight’.

    7. PACKED WITH GOODNESS. Haskap berries are high in antioxidants, have anti-inflammatory properties and are thought to modulate vascular function by increasing a chemical called nitric oxide, which can lead to dilation of blood vessels, increased oxygen and nutrient delivery.
