Heart health
The polyphenol antioxidants in cherries are known to promote heart health
Did you know we have been eating cherries in the UK since the Middle Ages? They are a quintessential part of our national diet and we have growers in the UK who have been farming cherries across the generations. Cherries are packed with health benefits including being especially high in polyphenols, a large group of plant chemicals that help fight cellular damage, reduce inflammation, and promote overall health.
The original superfood they pack a mighty goodness punch
One serving of blueberries provides as many health-promoting antioxidants as five servings of broccoli
I know what we would prefer!
While lots of us enjoy them on our morning cereals and porridge, they are also a perfect mid-morning or lunchtime snack and are even (whisper it) perfect on a cocktail stick and dipped into a wee dram!
Blueberry pie anyone? Many people think blueberries are only grown in USA – think again, we’re blueberry people too! Our specially selected varieties are grown by British farmers from June to September. Did you know, blueberries are naturally covered in a protective wax called a bloom which acts as a sunscreen and is a sign of freshness..?

Driscoll’s® Maravilla Raspberries are plump, soft to touch and melt-in-the-mouth… just like a top-quality raspberry should!

They can add a vibrant look, sweet taste and all sorts of dribbly goodness to a smoothie, on porridge, as a snack, with cream (‘g-old school’!!), or if you’re feeling more adventurous in a salad, with mint or basil or as an alternative butter to nut-butter.
