Delish and great quality, taste almost like fresh from my grandma’s garden. Berries are large, plump and juicy. I enjoy them in my super berry smoothie: aronia, black currants, and wild blueberries 🫐…. Will be definitely coming back for more!

Black currants were my entry into northwest wild foods (I wanted them and couldn’t find them in any grocery stores), and they continue to be a household staple. Delicious and tart, I put them in smoothies and compotes or just eat them frozen out of the bowl for a simple dessert.
