Mount Rainier Dried Blackcurrants

Description

The black currant, Ribes Nigrum, has been used in European folk medicine for many centuries. It is a tiny, wonderfully fragrant berry, praised for its high content in Vitamin C. Its polyphenol content is even higher than that of blueberries, making it the arguably healthier cousin of the two. This awesome berry has been cultivated in European monastery herb gardens since the Middle Ages.

Some hundred years ago, blackcurrants were wrongly accused to be the prime intermediate host for the White Pine Blister Rust, a fungus which decimated much of Northern American pine forests. Therefore, blackcurrants were banned from the US for almost a century, so presently, you can barely find this berry anywhere. Biocento Ecofarm has been successful in establishing small groves of this berry to the delight of our honeybees, who are attracted by the beautiful clusters of fragrant flowers, and to the delight of our children, who love to pick them and eat these delicious berries right off the bushes.

Apples or Berries ??

We love apples like everyone else. There is just nothing like Yakima Apples !!

Anthocyanins and Polyphenols – Count me in!

... when it comes to Health though, nothing beats berries with their anti-oxidants and plant derived micronutrients. So instead of "going apple" like everyone else in the Valley, Biocento Ecofarm is growing tiny berries - because berries outperform apples every time when it comes to micronutrients, and berries have made their home in the volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest for tens of thousands of years, long before Johnny Appleseed.

Blue – Black – What’s in a Color??

The dark colored berries are rich in cancer fighting polyphenols (check the rich coloration of Biocento Berries). But it's not just about good health - it's the flavors too - when you let the berries ripen in the sun (not machine harvesting 2 weeks early - green and sour - and not adding artificial sugars like the industrial farms do) it's just a taste eruption (no pun intended - our berries grow right next to major Volcanoes - and we still remember Mount St Helens blowing up on May 18th, 1980, her ash still sitting 3 inches tall in my hay loft).
