Blueberries
About Blueberries
Blueberries predominantly come from North America, but are now also grown in Australia, New Zealand, and South America. Within the United States, Michigan and Georgia are the largest producers.
Nutrition Benefits of Blueberries
Blueberries are often labeled as a superfood for their high levels of antioxidants. The main antioxidant in blueberries are flavonoids – in particular, anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are thought to have anti-aging benefits. Blueberries often also get associated with benefits related to brain health / memory, cancer fighter, digestion, heart health, skin, weight loss, type 2 diabetes, eye health, and cardiovascular system.
Smoothie Tip
We typically buy frozen blueberries to be used in smoothies. They are cheaper and last a very long time. Antioxidant properties are not damaged from the freezing process.
