Saskatoon Berry Pancakes

When a wonderful neighbour asks if you would like to pick some Saskatoon Berries from their loaded, sun kissed berry bush, you say YES! And then you make chia jam, fresh berry pancakes for breakfast and freeze the rest to use in a future delight!

Saskatoon Berries are a superfood, packed with antioxidants and high in plant-based fiber, they look like blueberries and have a similar taste but they are not related.  Saskatoon berries are more in the apple family – interesting! They have 7x the amount of calcium and twice the amount of calcium manganese of blueberries. They are SO delicious!

Saskatoon Berries contain vitamin A, vitamin B6 and B12, vitamin C, vitamin E, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, folate, and biotin. They're also a great source of minerals. They contain phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron, sodium, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, and copper. WebMD
