Viking Organic frozen wild fruit, rich in flavour and nutrition
Our frozen wild blueberries and wild mixed berries are picked in the unspoiled hillsides of eastern Europe, and individually quick-frozen for perfect servings each time. We’ve searched long and hard to find top suppliers, who know exactly when and where to pick what the forests provide. They do their utmost to conserve the natural landscape, restoring woodlands, preserving water and maintaining native pollinators, to ensure the fruit is bursting with flavour. Viking Organic’s wild berries are high in antioxidants, and have the most intense flavours you’ll encounter.
ON THE TABLE
Often smaller and more tart than cultivated varieties, wild blueberries have an intense flavour and unusually high amount of antioxidants. We suggest enjoying them in the most ultra-simple ways possible, blitzed with juice for a frappe or blended into your morning smoothie, yoghurt cup or honey porridge for a fast, nutritious breakfast. Or thaw slightly, then blend with a dash of sweetener (if you like) for a luxe coulis to serve with dessert. The visual effect is as powerful as the health kick.
FIELD NOTES
Nutrition experts agree that wild blueberries are superfoods with particularly high levels of antioxidants, such as polyphenols, anthocyanins and amino acids. Antioxidants help to fight free radicals, or compounds that can cause harm if they become too numerous in the body. Wild blueberries have adapted to various climates and conditions over tens of thousands of years, with bushes continually regenerating provided the landscape is cared for.
