This production specifically addresses markets with a high penetration of the consumption of berries (France, Italy, Germany, Benelux, and the United Kingdom). In the counters of large-scale retail trade this fruit is in fact next to blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and currants. Thanks to the convenience of its consumption, it broadens the range of healthy snacks, with 52 calories per 100 grams of fresh fruit only.
