blackcurrant

Arctic berries are naturally rich in vitamins, antioxidants, nutrients and fibre. They grow and mature under the midnight sun, absorbing the goodness from their clean and unpolluted surroundings. Every berry receives 24/7 sun throughout the Arctic summer, which means they’re naturally higher in their concentrations of antioxidants in comparison with berries grown elsewhere.

Each teaspoon of the berry powder is equivalent to a handful of fresh berries. Because our berry powders are made from 100% Arctic berries, they contain the same, valuable array of important nutrients.
