After months of slow maturation, our Gooseberries are ready to be converted in a delicious jam!
Some of the many health benefits:
Flavones and anthocyanins are compounds in gooseberries found to have numerous health beneficial effects against cancer, aging, inflammation, and neurological diseases. Rich in antioxidant polyphenolics and vitamins, the fiber content constitutes 26 percent of the daily recommended value, which has the ability to prevent colon cancer.

Quite the healthy berry, pure like that I must admit it is not my favorite berry - as a jam it is wonderful!
Cheers,
