Blueberry Powder
 Raw Wild-Harvested Blueberry Powder
Our Blueberry Powder is 100% natural and drum-dried to retain
the amazing nutritional benefits of the raw blueberry fruit.
Native only to North America, the blueberry was ranked #1 in
antioxidant activity by USDA researchers when compared to 40
other fruits and vegetables. Rich in the phytochemical
anthocyanin, our Blueberry Powder is delicious when added to
your yogurt or smoothie recipes.
Many of our customers mix Blueberry Powder in with water or
juice, but because our Blueberry Powder doesn't contain any
additives or carriers, it doesn't dissolve well in water. So,
for best results we suggest mixing it with a smoothie or
yogurt.
The blueberry is now grown all over the world, but did you know
that it is native only to North America? Maine produces 25% of
the blueberries grown in North America, making it the largest
producer in the world, explaining why the blueberry is the
official state fruit.
In a study that compared 40 fresh fruits and vegetables,
researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center ranked
blueberries first in antioxidant activity. Antioxidants are
important because they counteract free-radicals in our system.
Free-radicals are produced by the body during the metabolic
process; they oxygenate healthy cells, breaking them down. This
degenerative process can lead to cancer or other age related
diseases. Anthocyanin is the phytochemical compound that gives
many fruits their vibrant colors, including blueberries, and is
believed to help fight these free-radicals and therefore be
beneficial in the body's fight against cancer, heart disease
and ageing.
Also a good source of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber,
blueberries are believed to help reduce eyestrain and improve
night vision. Blueberries are high in the phytochemical
resveratol, also found in grapes and wine, which has been
linked to reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Blueberries may help prevent urinary tract infections and help
combat cystitis. Studies have also indicated that a
blueberry-enriched diet can improve memory, concentration and
problem-solving ability. A study at Tufts University in Boston
into the potential of blueberries to reverse short-term memory
loss pronounced the blueberry to be "a very powerful food in
the aging battle".
