Why Blueberries?

Blueberries or Star berries

Blueberries are tiny, dark blue, edible berries from the Vaccinium corymbosum shrub. The plant is a close relative to cranberries, huckleberries, bilberries, and gooseberries. It is actually a member of the Heather family:

Blueberries are also known as star berries because of the star-shaped pattern on each berry:

While wild blueberries were only cultivated as a domestic crop at the dawn of the 20th century, Native Americans have known about the potent health benefits of these great berries for centuries. They used the berries to create a staple Native American survival food called pemmican.

Pemmican is a mixture of tallow (fat), dried meat, and dried blueberries. It's a calorie-rich food used as a critical component in prepared meals or eaten raw. Historically, it was an essential part of indigenous cuisine in parts of North America and is still prepared today.

As one of the world’s most nutritious and antioxidant-rich fruits, blueberries are packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as:

  • Dietary fiber
  • Protein
  • Healthy fats
  • Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Potassium, Selenium, and Zinc
  • Choline
  • Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, C, E and K

Furthermore, blueberries are rich in potent antioxidants, such as kaempferol, myricetin, quercetin, resveratrol, and, most importantly, anthocyanins.

Because blueberries are low in calories, fat, and sodium but highly nutritious, they make for the perfect healthy snack.

Organic Freeze Dried Blueberries – Packed With Antioxidants

As with many other brightly colored fruits and berries, blueberries contain high levels of natural pro-anthocyanin plant pigments, which are also the main antioxidant compounds in blueberries.

The results of a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry indicated that anthocyanins are responsible for the many health benefits of blueberries and their vibrant blue hues. Furthermore, an article published in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research says that anthocyanins in blueberries support the heart and brain.

Organic blueberries are also known for their high concentrations of whole-spectrum vitamin C. This potent antioxidant supports the healthy functions of the eyes, heart, brain, lungs, bones, skin, and immune and digestive systems. Vitamin C is also needed for the body’s natural production of collagen.

The results of a study published in the Journal of Zhejiang University - Science B found that compared to other berries, blueberries have higher antioxidant activity and contain more of the many different types of antioxidants, including flavonoids, phenols, and anthocyanins.

Other potent antioxidants found in blueberries include resveratrol, quercetin myricetin, procyanidins, pterostilbene, chlorogenic acid, and more than 15 anthocyanins, as well as vitamins A and E.

Now you know why blueberries are called a superfood.
