Fruit

  • Blueberries

    Blueberries are delicate, small and round. Ripe blueberries are plump and deep blue in color. They have a gray natural waxy coat that protects them from moisture. This coat is called bloom and keeps the berries juicy. Ripe, deep blue indigo berries have a surprisingly green flesh as well.

    Blueberries are rich in antioxidants known as flavonoids and are a great source of dietary fiber, as well as low in fat and high in vitamin C. They help the body process nutrients, carbohydrates, and protein. Just 150 grams of blueberries per day can satisfy your daily fiber requirement.

    In addition, blueberries keep you full longer and can provide almost 25% of your daily vitamin C requirement. Right now, researchers are pursuing the link between blueberries and cancer prevention, brain health, insulin response and cardiovascular health.
