Need-to-Know Nutrition

Blueberries are a healthy, stress-free food. You get fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese and potassium in every handful of blueberries – at just 80 calories per cup.1 They’re also low in sodium and have virtually no fat. It just feels good to feel good about what you eat.

A study published in The British Journal of Nutrition examined the relationship between consuming flavonoid*-rich foods, like blueberries, and risk of all-cause mortality, given they are a rich source of flavan-3-ols, proanthocyanins and anthocyanins.

*Flavonoids are various compounds found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. They’re also in plant products like wine, tea, and chocolate. There are six different types of flavonoids found in food, and each kind is broken down by your body in a different way. Flavonoids are known for their antioxidant properties.
