Blackcurrant

Importance of Polyphenols and Antioxidants:

  • Polyphenols are very well studied and are known to have powerful antioxidative properties
  • Anti-oxidants help preserve cellular and DNA health, and so can help prevent cancer and aging
Blackcurrants
NZ Blackcurrants

Blackcurrants are known for their tart and bright color which are due to its high Vitamin C, polyphenolic, and anthocyanin content. New Zealand's South Island offers a climate of clear, crisp skies with the right amount of UV light. Combining that with fertile soils gives New Zealand blackcurrants their rich color, flavor, and nutrients.

Boysenberries
NZ Boysenberries

A hybrid berry that was originally cultivated not too far from us in Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, it found a new home in New Zealand due to the exceptionally conducive climate to growing polyphenol rich berries.

Grapes
NZ Grapes

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes that grow in New Zealand are accustomed to the cooler, maritime climate due to the proximity of the coast. This allows for a better balance of sugar and acid content, yielding a unique combination of polyphenols in NZ grapes.

Kiwifruit
NZ Kiwi Fruit

Kiwi Fruits are known for their sweet yet tarty taste. They have been associated with helping digestion due to its actinidin (protease enzyme) content. Grown in New Zealand under the right amount of UV sunlight in a clean climate, our Kiwi Fruits can be highly nutritious.
