Description
These blueberries have a natural dust coating,
consealing the deep blue skin of the berry itself. So-called "wild" blueberries, smaller than cultivated highbush ones, are prized for their intense color.
Blueberries have a diverse range of micronutrients, with moderate levels (relative to respective Dietary Reference Intakes) of the essential dietary mineral manganese, vitamin C, vitamin K and dietary fiber.One serving provides a relatively low glycemic load score of 4 out of 100 per day.
Blueberries contain anthocyanins, other pigments and various phytochemicals, which are under preliminary research for their potential role in reducing risks of diseases such as inflammation and cancer.Similar to red grape, blueberries may contain resveratrol.
