day 12 of 100 Happy days- I heard a most interesting story on the news tonight. It is regarding haskap berries and the growing popularity of them in N.S. We have 4 of these bushes growing in our garden and had a bowl of them this past summer. They are becoming very popular due to their nutritional value. No other fruit is like a haskap. They have such a unique flavour, color and texture. Most people describe the flavour as sweet with a tangy kick. The skin melts in your mouth and the seeds are not noticeable. The color of the juice is a decadent navy blue. The blooms can withstand -8 degrees of frost and the fruit rippens about the same time as strawberries. The fruit has a sweet tangy zing flavour that most people say is a cross between a blueberry, raspberry and black currant. The berries have extreme high levels of antioxidants – even higher than blueberries. Because of its nutritional value, the Haskap berry has long been known by the ancient Japanese as ‘the fruit of Life longevity and Fruit of vision’. It is a fruit that holds a high nutritional value and tastes wonderfully sweet. Something to look forward to this summer- my crop of haskaps!!! The vision isnt what is used to be- and I will be another year older---hopefully I have a huge crop
