Very economical, thanks!

Yes, I immediately looked for the cherries as well

[sloane]

Anybody got a UK/EU source for this? Would probably end up being paying more in customs duty and shipping tax than for the berries otherwise.

[goku]

is this really economical? And does the antioxidant value persist throughout this powdering process? I've never been terribly convinced of this. Always seems the real fresh thing is better from lit I've seen.

LOL, I'd rather eat normal berries...

Thanks for the link, Scott.

So would I. Sometimes this is easier.

Yo, your life must suck balls if you don't have time to sit down for a normal meal. Are you a med student? LOL
Personally I do not pay (especially not $24.95) for raspberries and blackberries. They grow wild, you just have to get 'em before everybody else does. If you don't have time to go berrying, outsource the work to your kid brother/sister.

i ordered a bunch of freeze dried stuff from emergencyessentials.com once.. it was yummy. has anyone seen a site that has freeze dried berries that are organic? also, what are the pros and cons of eating berry powder in a shake vs. concentrate?

"700gr frozen blueberries cost about 4 EUR here."

Wow! you'd pay that much for a 3-5 oz tub most of the time over here.

Dude, Alex: are you seriously all out on these berries? Sounds wild! We have Trader Joe's -- that's where I get my berries. That's one of my favorite stores!

[alexoverhere]

i buy frozen berries whenever i go to the co-op or whole foods (or TJs), but it'd be nice to have the freeze-died version too! they can go in shakes and add some variety as a cereal topping..

do you guys thaw your frozen berries? i find that they all taste more flavorful and sweeter thawed

[doug123]

I "mainline" my berry powders along with my R-DHLA.

I buy 700gr blueberries and 800 gr blackberries and mix it while still frozen and then eat about 100-200gr of this daily. 700gr frozen blueberries cost about 4 EUR here.

Which is your source?

[Brainbox]

Does anyone have a source of the freeze dried stuff in the EU?

[syr_]

I am in Italy and (fresh) berries are not cheap here, but strawberries. I have to look into big supermarkets for freezed ones.

[scottl]

Oh the other option (least in the US) is a company which makes small containers of..guess they are air dried fruits/veggies called just strawberries, just apples, etc. Not sure how cost compares but useful e.g. to add to oatmeal, shakes, etc.
