Trivia Tuesday: Packed with zingy flavour, honeyberries are Scotland`s remarkable homegrown superfruit.
Honeyberries are a naturally existing member of the edible honeysuckle family. They have been cherished in Japan for decades, where they are known as the ‘berry of longevity’ or ‘berry of vision’. With up to 4 times more antioxidants than blueberries, these berries offer exceptional health benefits, including improved memory, reduced blood pressure, significant anti-inflammatory effects, improved endurance running performance and many more.
The unique honeyberry taste is a wonder - best described as a mixture of blueberry, plum and grape with added zing. If you are a smoothie lover, this is your new essential ingredient. Honeyberry also scores top marks as a dried or freeze dried berry snack, delicious ice cream flavouring, flavourful juice and much more.
Unlike most of Scotland’s other berries, honeyberries are grown in the soil, which means we reap the rich flavours and broad micro-nutrients that come from growing in Scotland’s natural ‘terroir’. Scottish Honeyberry orchards spread from the Scottish Borders all the way to the Highlands, including three here in the heart of Angus.
