All hail blueberries, the kings of antioxidants! Known as a superfood, these versatile little guys are low in calories, high in nutrients, rich in antioxidants… the list goes on. In terms of benefits, they have been linked to everything from enhancing brain health to keeping your heart nice and strong, and their work against DNA damage plays a protective role against ageing and cancer.
Frozen blueberry health benefits include:
- inflammation alleviation
- digestive support
- diabetes management
- reduction in levels of oxidised LDL ("bad" cholesterol)
- lowered risk of heart attack
- Boosted Nutrient Absorption: The freezing process creates ice crystals that break down the cellular structure of the berries, making their powerful antioxidants (specifically anthocyanins) easier for the body to absorb.
