Click a Star to Rate This Post
The blueberry is true blue when it comes to being a native American fruit. It was originally called a star berry because each little blue ball of fruit has a star at the site of the little five pointed flower. It’s deep blue color is why this berry really is a star!!
That dark blue color comes from “anthocyanin,” one of its most powerful antioxidants.
The blueberry is a nutritional power engine that when you eat just one half cup serving, you’re getting the same antioxidant benefits as if you had eaten 5 servings of carrots, or peas, or apples or squash or even broccoli!
