Hi there! You should freeze them to preserve the many polyphenols and then add them to smoothies! They have 58% higher levels of antioxidants than wild blueberries! Fantastic addition to a healthy lifestyle!

I do believe they Viking and Nero varieties are indeed a hybrid of the sorbus mountain ash and that they have a heightened anthocyanin/polyphenol(antioxidant) content! It seems that freeze drying or at least deep freezing them is the best way to preserve these properties. I’m adding them to smoothies everyday to get those bitter babies in my diet! (Also, did you know that eating cow dairy products along with any fruit/veggie severely limits the bioavailability (your body’s ability to absorb) the antioxidants and nutrients within those foods!? Aka berries… eat you dairy separate, folks. Oh wow, I love these plant forums. Can you sense the passion or what!?
Cheers!
