Certified Organic Frozen Raspberries from Ukraine (1kg)

One full bag Japan certified organic JAS, fresh frozen raspberries from Ukraine. No use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. GMO-free. All hand-picked, washed and individually flash-frozen (IQF) right after harvest for freshness. No added sugars, sodium, or refined starches.

These raspberries are the Willamette type - which is the juiciest of them all. They are dark red and harvested in mid-summer. Best used for smoothies, waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, and garden salads. Kids love to eat raspberries just like that. Raspberries are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber and are an excellent source of vitamin C, manganese, and dietary fiber. Please note that due to the nature of Raspberries, they might arrive mostly crumbled (not as nicely shaped as seen in the image). This does not affect taste and quality.

About Certified Organic

This product is certified Japan Agricultural Standard Organic (JAS) - both in the country of origin and Japan. Japan has one of the world's strictest organic certification standards. But what does certified organic mean when it comes to fruits and vegetables?

✔ Strictly tested for E Coli, coliforms, molds, yeasts as well as listeria and salmonella and therefore meets very high microbiological safety standards.

✔ Free of harmful synthetic chemical inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides or any food additives.

✔ Free of genetically modified seeds (non-GMO)

✔ The farmland and soil in use are free of any chemical treatments.

✔ Organic produce is heavily regulated. Producers and importers are checked and inspected by governmental bodies or certified third parties. Organic certification requires detailed bookkeeping and documentation for 100% traceability. "Certified organic" is a protected phrase and the use is legally restricted.

✔ Organic farming is more sustainable when it comes to holistic food production. The lack of harmful pesticides is better for the environment.

✔ Organic produce comes mostly from family-owned farms that own smaller acres of organic land.

It is also important to mention that organic produce is more cost-intensive. Organic farming has lower yields compared to conventional farming and is oftentimes more labor-intensive as well. Additionally, organic certification and audits require annual fees for producers, exporters, and importers resulting in higher prices for the end consumers.

Please note that non-GMO and chemical-free produce will often have a minor degree of defects; these may include individual differences like slight deformities, discoloration, and under/over ripeness. In rare cases there may be insect damage, scratches, or mold which cannot be seen during inspections. However, these are not harmful and can simply be removed. Thank you for your understanding.
