| Fresh from the bush or vine, berries are one of nature's sweetest, most delicious
foods. Naturally healthy and organic, wild berries are low in calories (averaging
about 80 calories per cup), and high in vitamin, potassium, iron and calcium
content. They are also a wonderful source of natural fiber.
Wild berries have been highly regarded by Pacific Northwest natives for centuries.
Each year, they honor the berries at special Berry Ceremonies. Wild berries,
including wild huckleberries, are among the ceremonial foods served at their
First Salmon Celebration each spring.
Our Wild Harvest Blue Huckleberries are carefully handpicked in the rugged
foothills and mountains of the wild Pacific Northwest. Picking by hand preserves
their unique and delicious flavor. Interestingly, the closer our Wild Blue Huckleberries
grow to the Rocky Mountains, the more concentrated their flavor and aroma becomes.
Flash Frozen, to lock in their great flavor and aroma, our wild blue huckleberries
are considered one of the most nutritional naturally organic foods in the world.
Try a handful in your favorite smoothie, or just eat them by the handful. .
. Nothing is tastier or healthier for you.

Wild Berry Research Health Notes:
University of Idaho scientists Todd Taruscio, Jerry Exon, and Dan Barney recently
characterized some of the bioactive compounds found in wild blueberries, huckleberries,
and bilberries as part of a grant funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Initiative for Future Agricultural and Food Systems. Seven Vaccinium species
native to western North America were compared to highbush blueberries and half-high
blueberries (hybrids between highbush and lowbush blueberries). Traits of interest
included antioxidant capacity, total phenolics, total anthocyanins, flavanols,
phenolic acids, and anthocyanidins.
Research is now underway to determine how these fruits affect the development
of colon cancer.
