Haskapa is an award-winning company producing 100% natural haskap berry freeze-dried powder and organic pure juice shots. Packed with flavour, Haskapa powder blends easily with smoothies, yoghurt, porridge and more.
Founded by Evie, a doctor, and her husband Simon, a ‘green’ entrepreneur, they combined their passions for the environment, lifestyle medicine and ethical business by growing the berries in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Haskap berries have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and were named by the indigenous Ainu people of northern Japan, who knew them as the “berry of long life”.
Haskap berries have an outer purple-blue skin and a juicy, deep crimson flesh. As a result of their abundant vibrant colour, they have higher key nutritional values, with 3 x the antioxidants and 4 x the anthocyanins compared to blueberries. Freeze-drying the berries preserves their uniquely tangy sweet flavour and naturally high level of anthocyanins for year-round consumption.
Over the last few years Haskapa has been supporting haskap berry research and development. Two independent clinical studies have been published demonstrating the positive effects of the berry on cognition and blood pressure in older adults and exercise endurance in runners.
