Happy New Year! It’s that time once again when we make promises to ourselves and our loved ones to lead a healthier, happier year. Many of us are looking for ways to enhance our health and well-being at this time of year, and we’re here to explain how one simple yet powerful addition to your routine could make all the difference.
Haskap berries are an increasingly popular superfood with exceptional nutritional benefits. If you haven’t tried Haskap berry juice yet, now is the perfect time to add them to your diet. Their eclectic blend of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants will support your New Year’s resolutions and set you up strong for the rest of the year. Here are five compelling reasons to give Haskap berry juice a try this January.
1. Nutritional Powerhouse
Yes, we’re biased, but that doesn’t make us wrong! Haskap berries are a nutritional powerhouse, boasting high levels of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, fibre, and potassium. These nutrients are essential for maintaining a robust immune system, promoting healthy digestion, and supporting overall well-being. Incorporating Haskap berries into your diet can give your body the nutrients it needs to thrive and help stave off those constant sniffles at this time of year, too. Our Haskapur is 100% Haskap berry juice with nothing added or taken away so you know your body will get exactly what it needs.

2. Rich in Antioxidants
One of the standout features of our Haskap berry juice is its vibrant antioxidant content. Haskap has the highest level of a specific type of antioxidant, anthocyanins, of any fruit! Antioxidants are crucial in neutralizing free radicals (literally preventing oxidative damage). Consuming enough antioxidants can improve your heart health and may even reduce the risk of certain cancers. Haskap berries are a delicious way to harness the power of antioxidants to protect your health.
3. Anti-inflammatory and Neuroprotective Benefits
Haskap berries are also known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce chronic inflammation, a common underlying factor in many diseases, especially autoimmune conditions. Haskap offers neuroprotective benefits, too, potentially supporting brain health and cognitive function, particularly as we get older. Including Haskap berries in your diet could be a step towards maintaining a healthy mind and body.
Anti-inflammatory doesn’t mean boring, though. Check out our mocktail recipes here!
4. Support for Athletic Performance
For those with fitness goals, Haskap berries can be a valuable ally, especially if you’re setting yourself some lofty goals for the new year. Haskap berries are brim-full of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, which support muscle function and recovery. And those anthocyanins can also enhance athletic performance by reducing exercise-induced oxidative stress. A fantastic study shows a significant boost in running PBs when athletes supplement with haskap berries!
Whether you're an athlete or a fitness enthusiast, adding some Haskap berry juice to your pre or post-workout drink can help you achieve your performance goals and is easy to incorporate using either our Haskapur or our Haskap Berry Juice Drink.
5. Versatile and Sustainable
Speaking of how easy Haskap berry juice is to incorporate, it’s surprisingly versatile in the kitchen. It can be easily integrated into your daily routine through smoothies, salads, desserts, and more. Lift weights? Add some Haskap juice to your protein shake! Always on the run? Add some Haskap juice to some sparkling water to sip throughout the day. And it’s not just drinks, either. We have a fantastic selection of sweet and savoury recipes that range from snacks to main meals using our Haskap jam or juices.
Our Haskap berries are sustainably grown on our Nova Scotian farm, making them an environmentally conscious choice, too.
