These delicious little nuggets are deceptively unassuming... Only 1/2 cup of blueberries equals one serving of fruits and vegetables, making it easy to get in the recommended 5-10 servings a day. As well, a cup of blueberries contains a measly 80 calories and a whopping 4 grams of fiber, making them them a smart snack and healthy addition to salads, sauces, smoothies and sweet breads!Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, which have been proven to reduce the risk of developing cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and heart disease. In fact, when compared with over twenty different fruits and vegetables, blueberries came in first place with their antioxidant powers, even beating out cranberries, strawberries and the mighty pomegranate! We freeze our berries immediately after they have been picked and at the peak of their freshness; this preserves the vitamins and minerals wthin each berry, so you can enjoy the delicious taste and the nutritious goodness all year 'round. Good things really do come in small packages!
