Also known as Blue Honeysuckle and Honeyberry, the name Haskap is derived from the language of the native Ainu people of Hokkaido, Japan. The Japanese say Haskaps are the "fruit of longevity" and the "fruit of vision."

Haskap berries are often thought to be of the blueberry and cranberry family but they are more closely related to the honeysuckle.

Haskap berry skin has a similar colour to a blueberry but the haskap berry is oval in shape. The inside flesh is a rich maroon colour and very juicy. The skin is very delicate and the seeds are tiny giving the fruit a "melt-in-your-mouth" quality. It's slightly tart flavour is clean and refreshing. Haskap berries can be enjoyed fresh off the bush or frozen - perfect for desert toppings, smoothies, jams or juice.
