It’s pretty unusual to haphazardly google a particular berry and fall down a rabbit hole of compelling information. I was expecting to uncover some health benefits, sure, but nothing nearly as impressive as what black currants have to offer.

The rise and fall of Nesselrode during the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s can be attributed largely to one woman in particular, so it seems fitting that one woman, Petee’s owner Petra Paredez, is bringing it back.   We owe the former popularity of Nesselrode to Hortense Spier, who began selling the pies out of her ..read more
