What Do Berries Have?
Berries contain many beneficial micronutrients including vitamin C and calcium. In addition, berries are an excellent source of dietary fiber (mostly a soluble fiber called pectin). Scientists have found that berries have some of the highest antioxidant levels of any fruits. Kale and spinach are the only vegetables with oxygen radical absorptive capacity (ORAC) values as high as fresh delicious berries. These tiny mouth-watering fruits contain numerous health-promoting compounds. They are some of the most powerful (and yummy) "good-for-you" foods available.

Elderberries belong to the honeysuckle family and are well known to North American Indians. They have been used by explorers, pioneers and settlers, alike. The elderberry bush provides food and shelter for many species of birds and butterflies, as well as other wildlife such as mule deer and elk. The bush bears large clusters of small white or cream-colored flowers in late spring followed by clusters of small black, blue-black in mid to late summer. Syrups, teas, juices, jams, wines, cordials, fruit pies and relishes are just a few of the things these wild berries can be used for. Some people use them in place of blueberries for muffins and pancakes.

These Freeze Dried Cherries, with their rich red hue are my favorite of all the freeze dried fruits. Some employees like the dried slices mangoes, my daughter loves the diced, freeze dried mangoes, but I like the tart cherries. It is not just the knowledge that they contain antioxidants, nor other things I have read about them, it is their sweet-tart taste and that they are so loaded with flavor. I have always been one to like things like starbursts and Sweet Tarts or Skittles. Not that I eat them now, but I love the strong flavors and the tartness that puckers you up yet there is sweetness there as well. If that is your fancy, you have to try these cherries. If you want to make sauces, spreads and smoothies, try the powder. I don't think you will be disappointed.

The powder is a nice addition to any smoothie with its bright red color and delicious tartness. Choose from 8 ounce and 1 pound packages.

Since peaches are usually purchased when not ripe, when they ripen they need to be used up quickly before they become too ripe. And because they do not last too long once they ripe, peaches are very difficult to get fresh except during the harvest time. So you have to resort to either frozen or freeze dried. Freeze dried peach, I promise, will spoil you. They have a delicious crunch when eaten out of the bag, they readily dehydrate when added to cereal, pudding or even warm water, and you never have to wait for them to thaw or worry about them spoiling!

Ruby red, sweet, yet tart, these raspberries are wonderful when added to hot cereal, yogurt, kefir, or any dish. The powders make great smoothies and sauces or spreads. High in fiber and vitamin C, like other berries, raspberries are one of my favorite fruits. I wish they kept better in the refrigerator, but since they do not, I always keep a bag of freeze dried raspberries handy.
