Known as haskap in Japan, its elongated dark blue berries ripen before strawberries and taste somewhere between blueberry and raspberry. The plant tolerates temperatures down to -40 C, which makes it valuable for cold-climate fruit growing.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
