The Science

The science of boysenberries

Our fruit is already in products on shelves in New Zealand. Here is what it looks like in practice.

  • Anthocyanins

    Natural pigments responsible for the deep purple colour and widely researched for antioxidant activity and cardiovascular health.

  • Polyphenols

    A diverse family of plant compounds associated with antioxidant protection and healthy inflammatory responses.

  • Ellagitannins

    Unique polyphenols metabolised by the gut microbiome into urolithins, supporting cellular rejuvenation and longevity.

Boysenberry
  • Dietary Fibre

    Supports digestive health, satiety and a healthy gut microbiome.

  • Folate (Vitamin B9)

    A natural source of folate, contributing to normal cell division and maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
