However, I think you're ascribing more meaning to that particular sentence than I intended. I was simply referring to berries as a class of fruit. Since the three mentioned berries all end with the word "berries" and contain similar characteristics and phytochemicals ... I grouped them together. Be well! JP Robert,

They may have nutritional traits in common, but they are about as distantly related botanically as you can get. Blackberries & black currants are closer to each other (both are in the rose family), but blueberries & elderberries are not related to each other, or to blackberries & currants.

I can find it for less than $3 for a half-liter aseptic package at local specialty food stores that carry Eastern European items.
