All About Blueberries

These beautifully blue berries are actually one of the few fruit species that are native to North America.

With that said, they have a history that dates back thousands of years ago and were picked by Native Americans for centuries. This is going back to even before colonists arrived from Europe!

Back then, blueberries had a wide range of uses, such as:

Eaten fresh

Mixed with meat or used as a flavorful rub

Preserved for winter (dried and used in soups)

Medicinal uses - juiced to make couch syrup

Leaves were used to make tea

Mixed into puddings

Dye for baskets and clothes

Made into jellies and jams

 

As of current times, the USA now grows over 90% of the world’s blueberry supply after they had been domesticated and cultivated in the early 20th century.

Wow! What a versatile fruit! Not only do blueberries have so many uses, but they are also chock-full of health benefits.

10 Health Benefits of Blueberries

The blueberry is a nutrient-rich fruit that can provide many health benefits:

    1. Packed with fiber - helps your feel fuller longer

    2. Full of naturally occurring nutrients called phytochemicals that protect your cells

    3. Supreme antioxidant power

    4. Gives you an energy boost

    5. Have anti-aging nutrients

    6. Boosts your brain function and protects you from memory issues

    7. Protects your body from free radicals

    8. Helps ease inflammation in your body

    9. High in nutrients and low in calories

    10. High vitamin C levels help your immune system

    One of the most important benefits of blueberries is their positive impact on brain health. Blueberries have been shown to improve cognitive function and memory, and they may also help reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline.

    This is thanks to the high levels of anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants, in blueberries.

    Blueberries are also good for your heart. They can help reduce blood pressure and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, while also increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels. The anthocyanins in blueberries may also help reduce inflammation, which is a major risk factor for heart disease.
