The plant is characterized by a long period of fruiting. As a rule, sarakha continues to bear fruit until the very frosts.
The berries of the sarakha change their color from light green to dark purple, almost black, as they ripen. They are covered with a bluish wax coating on top. The warmer and sunnier the weather during fruit ripening, the tastier and sweeter the berries.
The pulp of ripe sarakha fruits has the aroma
grape and a sweet-sour taste. Small seeds inside
seeds give it its own special, specific taste, comparable to nutty. The composition of sarakha berries includes vitamins A, B, C, beta-carotene, minerals, pectins and other beneficial elements.
Only fully ripened fruits are used for food in raw or processed form (jams, jams,
jams, marmalade, compotes, jelly). Berries are also preserved, frozen or dried.

Belongs to heat-loving crops, grows successfully in open, sunny areas, as well as in light partial shade, loves moisture, but does not tolerate waterlogging. It is a self-pollinated plant.
