Berries and Currants

Berries and Currants Information

Strongs stocks a wide variety of berries and currants for those of you conscious of their health benefits if eaten raw and for those who are fans of them being used in pies, tarts and crumbles. Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, red currants and strawberries all feature prominently at Strongs of Lytham.

With our reputation for fresh fruit on the Fylde Coast, we know that it’s important our berries and currants are in impeccable condition. Our customers attest to their quality and regularly use them in all manner of crumbles and tarts, often combining a berry or currant purchase with an apple to form the fruit basis of a traditional English summer pudding. Bramley apples and blackberries are probably our most popular combination for this – guaranteed to remind you of your childhood and endless summer nights.

Other fruits, such as blueberries, have received attention in the mass media in the last few years for being ‘superfruits’ due to their antioxidant qualities and associated health benefits. A vital part of anyone’s fruit shop!
