Blueberries are literally bursting with nutrients and flavor, yet very low in calories. Recently, researchers at Tufts University analyzed 60 fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant capability. Blueberries came out on top, rating highest in their capacity to destroy free radicals.
Blueberries and Antioxidant Activity
Antioxidants are thought to help protect the body against the damaging effects of free radicals and the chronic diseases associated with the aging process. Fresh fruits, including blueberries, and vegetables contain many of these naturally occurring antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E. Blueberries contain 14 mg of Vitamin C and 0.8 mg Vitamin E per 1 cup of blueberries.
In addition, blueberries contain anthocyanins and phenolics that can also act as antioxidants. Based on data from the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (Boston, MA), blueberries are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant activity. Using a test called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), researchers have shown that a serving of fresh blueberries provides more antioxidant activity than many other fresh fruits and vegetables. Quoted from U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council |

| Beyond the flavor, Organic Whole Plant Wild Maine Blueberry Tea is power-packed with antioxidants in the form of anthocyanins. These phytonutrients, natural antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables, contribute to the blue and red pigments of blueberries and their leaves which protect our bodies against disease and age-related health risks. By concentrating the antioxidants from blueberries and blueberry leaves into this premium whole plant tea, Highland Blueberry Farm™ has utilized a waste by-product with blueberries to deliver almost two times the antioxidants of fresh organic blueberries. |
