Blueberries

Blueberries also known as bilberries, are one of the healthiest fruits and a rich source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are considered to be one of the best natural sources of vitamin C, they also contain vitamins A, E and K, as well as minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium.

Frozen blueberries are obtained by rapidly chilling fresh berries after harvesting. They are packaged and stored at temperatures below -18°C. Frozen blueberries maintain their flavour and nutritional value just like fresh ones, making them a good choice for people who want to enjoy the health benefits of these fruits all year round.

They can be used to prepare a variety of dishes and desserts such as jams, compotes, ice creams, cakes or smoothies. They are also a popular ingredient in dietary supplements, due to their high antioxidant content.

However, it is worth noting that blueberries are delicate, so when frozen for long periods of time, they can change their flavour and lose some of their nutritional value. Therefore, when choosing frozen blueberries, it is recommended to choose those that have been frozen quickly after picking and ones without any chemical treatment.
