 Sure, blueberries taste good. They make delicious muffins and pies. What would breakfast be without blueberry waffles and pancakes? Even kids love blueberries – often called “nature’s candy” – because they are sweet and easy to eat.
And now scientific research has revealed that what tastes good is also good for you. An excellent source of fiber, vitamins and antioxidants, blueberries just might be nature’s most perfect food.
Recent medical studies have found that blueberries can help prevent and even reverse serious diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and strokes. Blueberries can lower cholesterol levels better than statin drugs – without the negative side effects.
Blueberries can increase night vision and prevent cataracts and macular degeneration. They prevent diarrhea, constipation and urinary tract infections. They slow down the aging process of the brain, keeping it sharp and preventing Alzheimer’s and dementia.
However, if great taste and better health can’t convince the consumer to eat more blueberries, what about vanity? Research has shown that blueberries slow down the aging process of the skin. They protect skin cells from damage and disintegration, making blueberry consumers look younger longer.
As blueberry growers, we are luck to be able to market a produce that tastes good, is good for you…and makes you look good, too.
