Glorious Blueberries

Blueberries contain anthocyanin, an antioxidant that gives them their color. On top of being antioxidants taking care of free radicals, these flavonoids can protect against cardiovascular disease. They also contain a healthy dose of dietary fiber and Vitamin C. This dish is just one way to enjoy this superfood.

Sneaking More Berries in Your Diet

Blueberries and other berries, like raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, gogi berries, and more are a simple and delicious way to add lots of vitamins and antioxidants to your diet. When in season, snacking on a handful of berries is a perfect afternoon pick-me-up. You can also toss them in salads or mix them in hot or cold cereals and granola. Surprisingly, berries retain nearly all of their nutritional value when frozen. This means we can enjoy them year-round in smoothies and baked goods, like this Blueberry Bake.
