Boysenberry

​

A cross between Raspberry and Blackberry, this species was created in a laboratory in the 1920s by Rudolph Boysen in California.

​

Like other berries, a Boysenberry plant is a small trailing shrub with a moderate length and bushy nature but without thorns. Boysenberries are dark, non-shiny maroon berries with a distinctive rich, tangy flavour.

​

The fruit resembles the Blackberry in shape but lacks the Blackberry's large seeds. Boysenberries are a natural source of vitamins and minerals. It has a negligible fat content and a high level of dietary fibers. Research has shown that its antioxidant activity is due to Anthocyanins and other naturally occurring Polyphenolics.

​

The boysenberry is not only fresh tasting, but also has a wide range of applications including jam, jelly, dessert, yogurt, ice cream, cake, pie and other beverages.
