NUTRITION

Riberries have high levels of anthocyanins which are the purple red and blue pigments and as such are an important component of the nutritive content of fruits.

​

It is these anthocyanins which are potent antioxidants and riberries contain high levels of these free radical scavenging agents. The levels are nearly 3 times higher than those contained in the blueberry which is accepted as the world standard for measuring anthocyanin levels. 

​

Riberries also contain high levels of folate, also known as vitamin B-12 which is required for healthy growth and development and is essential during early pregnancy for healthy development of babies. 

​

Calcium is another very useful nutrient found in riberries.
