Blueberries - A Nutritional Powerhouse
Blueberries could be the perfect food. Certainly we, at Blueberry Lane Farm & Orchards family would agree -- we've always known blueberries were exceptional. Here's why this diminutive but dynamic gem of nature is just now in the limelight:
* Leading Antioxidant *
According to a USDA study conducted by the Human Nutrition Center on Aging at Tuft's University in 1998, the blueberry is #1 in antioxidant activity. It surpassed 40 other fruits and vegetables in its ability to neutralize free radicals -- particles that damage your cells in ways that lead to cancer, heart disease and the effects of aging. Blueberries also contain vitamins A and C, zinc, potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium, and are high in fiber and low in calories.
* Perfectly Frozen *
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration confirms the preservation of nutrients for frozen fruits. In fact, frozen fruits equal and sometimes surpass fresh fruit in its nutritional value, and no other fruit freezes more perfectly than the blueberry. Harvested in the field at the peak of ripeness, wild blueberries like those at Blueberry Lane Farm are sorted, cleaned and individually quick-frozen within hours. In doing so, all their health benefits and all their advantages, including taste and usability are retained.
