Fresh blueberries
Description
Fresh berries are characterized by their juicy, sweet-tart flavor and intense color ranging from blue-purple to black, with a smooth, slightly shiny skin and delicate flesh. They are low in calories, rich in fiber, vitamin C, B vitamins, and minerals, and above all, valuable antioxidants, including anthocyanins, which support heart health, the circulatory system, and cognitive functions, as well as exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. In the kitchen, fresh berries are perfect for smoothies, muesli, salads, desserts, cakes, and sauces for meats or cheese, as well as for jams and freezing for later. Store them in the refrigerator in a breathable container and wash just before consumption; for longer storage, freeze them flat in a single layer to preserve flavor and texture.
