Labelled by the locals as The Berry of Longevity, he was immediately captivated by the berry and it’s popularity in the native culture. Following initial research, Stuart discovered that Honeyberries thrive in colder climates, meaning they had huge potential to prosper in Scotland's hardy temperatures. After some more digging, he found that some Canadian companies had started growing Honeyberries too, so he assembled a team of inquisitive farmers to learn everything they could from them, devoid of the language barriers of Japan. In the vast Canadian orchards, this co-operateive of farmers deepened their understandings of growing methods - learning firsthand from experienced growers who had been mastering the art of honeyberry cultivation for years already. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d80d3c5bf188f274b94390b/1568809636281-7JTXKEQA597NNSQCPUNI/honeyberries-20.jpg What is a Honeyberry - Cultivating Scotland’s Superberry Taking inspiration from farmers with proven track records, our Honeyberry-growing approach is simple, yet meticulous. Before our Honeyberries even touch the Scottish soil, we ensure the grounds are perfect condition. We start with a three-year process of cultivating a diverse cover crop, allowing them to flourish and then restart. This not only rejuvenates the soil but attracts pollinators that will later serve our Honeyberries. Nature plays a major role in our growth process, relying on native masonry bee and bumblebees for cross-pollination and, wildflower strips for natural plant protection. But we don’t just stop there… Scottish Honeyberries are also nurtured with micro-nutrients and a mix of diverse seaweeds, ensuring they thrive over the long term. Finally, our protective measures (from willow windbreaks to beneficial predator habitats) ensure they grow in an ideal environment, shielded from the elements and biological threats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d80d3c5bf188f274b94390b/1568904075438-4PDWR2N7X5KK0CAZU3W5/honeyberries-growers-group.jpg What is a Honeyberry - Our Commitment: More Than Just a Berry Business We're not just growing berries; we're cultivating a legacy. The Scottish Honeyberry Growers is a collaboration of eight visionary farmers spread from the Scottish Borders to the Highlands. Our united goal? To harness the best of Scotland's terroir and create the world’s healthiest and tastiest honeyberries. As industry leaders, we don't rest on our laurels. Our commitment to sustainability pushes us to explore ways to make all our orchards carbon-positive. We're not just about today; we're setting the stage for a greener, more fruitful tomorrow.

It is best described as a mixture of blueberry, plum and grape - with added zing. Its depth of flavour, together with the vibrant purple colour of its juice makes it a favourite with chefs who revel in its culinary possibilities. And its the same flavour and colour profile - together with the health benefits - that make it certain to take the smoothie industry by storm. If you are a smoothie lover, this is your new essential ingredient. Honeyberry also scores top marks as a dried or freeze dried berry snack, delicious ice cream flavouring, flavourful juice and much more - its versatility is one of it’s key attributes, and we’ve not even scratched the surface in terms of the possibilities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d80d3c5bf188f274b94390b/1568807879180-B21R7TRHRM97LO0IO2TJ/honeyberries-grown-in-scotland.jpg Taste and Use - Grown in Scotland The Honeyberry, originating from Japan and Russia, is a hardy northern climate type bush. It doesn’t enjoy the scorching summers of many southern European countries. Which makes Scotland a perfect climate for them to thrive in. Unlike most of Scotland’s other berries, we grow honeyberries in the soil, which means we reap the rich flavours and broad micro-nutrients that come from growing in Scotland’s natural ‘terroir’.

The findings highlight that extracts from the leaves and branches, not just the fruits, effectively reduce pro-inflammatory mediators and block nuclear factor-κB activation. This suggests great potential for Honeyberry extracts in developing natural anti-inflammatory treatments.

Using a double-blind, placebo-controlled design, 30 male runners were tested. Results showed modest heart rate and V˙O2 changes at submaximal intensities. The honeyberry group had a longer time to exhaustion by 20 seconds and improved 5 km time trial performance by ~21 seconds (over 2% improvement) compared to the placebo group. Honeyberries may enhance endurance running performance in athletes.

Using various assays, haskap berries, especially Borealis, showed the highest antioxidant capacities and phenolic contents among tested fruits. Haskap berries are promising sources of natural antioxidants. Nutritional values were average for haskap cultivars, while strawberries had the highest mineral and nutrient content.

Honeyberries (Lonicera caerulea L.) are rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids, especially anthocyanins. A study tested honeyberry extracts on lung cells exposed to a tobacco carcinogen precursor (NNKOAc). Honeyberry extracts prevented DNA damage, reduced reactive oxygen species, and enhanced DNA repair in treated cells. This protective effect is linked to their high polyphenol and antioxidant content.

They have higher ascorbic acid and anthocyanin content than blueberries. Studies show their antioxidant benefits in cell cultures, animals, and humans. Encapsulation technology may enhance their bioactivity and stability in commercial products.

Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside made up 79% of total anthocyanins in ripe berries. Extracts from different stages showed anti-diabetic properties, inhibiting enzymes linked to diabetes. Late harvesting reduced these effects in some cultivars. Overall, haskap berries show promise for managing type 2 diabetes.

The findings highlight that extracts from the leaves and branches, not just the fruits, effectively reduce pro-inflammatory mediators and block nuclear factor-κB activation. This suggests great potential for Honeyberry extracts in developing natural anti-inflammatory treatments.

Using a double-blind, placebo-controlled design, 30 male runners were tested. Results showed modest heart rate and V˙O2 changes at submaximal intensities. The honeyberry group had a longer time to exhaustion by 20 seconds and improved 5 km time trial performance by ~21 seconds (over 2% improvement) compared to the placebo group. Honeyberries may enhance endurance running performance in athletes.

Using various assays, haskap berries, especially Borealis, showed the highest antioxidant capacities and phenolic contents among tested fruits. Haskap berries are promising sources of natural antioxidants. Nutritional values were average for haskap cultivars, while strawberries had the highest mineral and nutrient content.

Honeyberries (Lonicera caerulea L.) are rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids, especially anthocyanins. A study tested honeyberry extracts on lung cells exposed to a tobacco carcinogen precursor (NNKOAc). Honeyberry extracts prevented DNA damage, reduced reactive oxygen species, and enhanced DNA repair in treated cells. This protective effect is linked to their high polyphenol and antioxidant content.

They have higher ascorbic acid and anthocyanin content than blueberries. Studies show their antioxidant benefits in cell cultures, animals, and humans. Encapsulation technology may enhance their bioactivity and stability in commercial products.

These benefits depend on cultivar, genotype, and harvesting location. Honeyberries may help mitigate UV damage, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases, and offer liver and heart protection.

Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside made up 79% of total anthocyanins in ripe berries. Extracts from different stages showed anti-diabetic properties, inhibiting enzymes linked to diabetes. Late harvesting reduced these effects in some cultivars. Overall, haskap berries show promise for managing type 2 diabetes.
