Just in! From Hazzberry Farms, the haskap preserves and sauces have arrived at the store. Haskap is a fruit with a sharp sweetness with a mild tangy taste. It’s taste has been compared to a mix of raspberry and blueberry. You have to try it! We have: Haskap Berry Preserve (2 sizes) Haskap Scotia Blend (mix of Haskap, Blueberry, Cranberry) (2 sizes) Haskap Desert Sauce with a kiss of Maple Syrup... Come get a bottle and try this delicious, and healthy treat for yourself! For more information on Haskap, see below or go to the Hazzberry Farms website. From the Hazzberry Farms website: Twenty-eight Maritime Haskap berry farmers, determined to control their own destiny, have partnered to create HazzBerry Farms. HazzBerry Farms Haskap berries are sustainably grown in the Maritimes without the use of herbicides or pesticides to create several very tasty and nutritious products. Haskap berries offer a unique tangy/sweet taste, the intense purple/blue exterior with the crimson interior for a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Easy to eat and incredibly versatile - a little goes a long way! A serving (100 g) of Haskap berries supplies double the Vitamin A, and more Vitamin C than an orange, as well as higher contents of Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus and Potassium than blueberries, oranges, grapes or apples. The haskap berry is a small oval berry, often likened in shape to an elongated blueberry about 1-inch long. The soft, delicate skin of a haskap berry is dark violet, but with an intense crimson flesh when fully ripe. It has very small, almost imperceptible seeds. The juice of the berry has a naturally high brix value (measure of sugar content) and colours almost anything it is combined with, to a dark burgundy. The unique taste of the Haskap berry is a sharp sweetness with a tangy kick; it has been compared to a combination of blueberry and raspberry with a hint of black currant.
