Organic Cranberries

Native to South America, pineberries are a natural hybrid cross between two species of strawberries. They are considered the original cultivar responsible for common strawberries consumed today.

Named for a pineapple-like flavor, pineberries have a refreshing taste with hints of tropical flavor and a pretty, blushing hue. These berries are smaller than common red strawberries, with less acid and a texture like a soft pear. They are a delicious treat available for a short season!

Enjoy out-of-hand or in recipes calling for common strawberries like tarts, salads and beverages.

Store refrigerated for up to five days, and rinse in cool water before consuming. Bring to room temperature to get the most out of its unique and nuanced flavor.

Though Aronia Berries look very much like blueberries, their antioxidant content is three times as potent.

Aronia berries are considered a true super food. They have a very high concentration of anthocyanin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties thought to slow cancer growth. Recent research has also shown that a regular diet that includes Aronia berries can lower the risk of diabetes and heart disease. The high antioxidant content of this purple food does not change whether it is fresh, frozen or dried. However, the drying process does remove most of the water content, so dried berries are much sweeter than in the fresh form.

Dried Aronia berries can be stored for three months in a sealed container in a cool dark, dry pantry. Keep out of sunlight.

These delightful bite-sized fruits from South America have many names, such as Cape Gooseberries, Ground Cherries and Inca berries. Although related to tomatillos, goldenberries are sweeter and feature tangy tropical notes, often described as a mix between mango and pineapple. Goldenberries grow on shrubs and are encased in a papery husk—Melissa’s offers goldenberries with the husk on or peeled off.

To use, rinse goldenberries under cool water. The berries might be slightly sticky from a natural, edible oil the fruit excretes to protect its skin. Serve berries whole or sliced in breakfast bowls, desserts or salads. Goldenberries’ pretty orange hue looks beautiful when paired with other berries like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries.

Melissa’s Goldenberries are hand selected for excellent quality. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
