It has been long believed that blueberries offer a variety of healthy benefits. This fact has now been confirmed by numerous medical studies that show blueberries to be particularly high in antioxidants. Antioxidants help eliminate Cancer causing free radicals that accumulate in the body. Half a cup of blueberries packs the antioxidant punch of about 1000 mg of vitamin C, a vitamin well known for its antioxidant qualities.

Fresh and frozen blueberries offer an excellent source of vitamin A and are a good source of vitamin C as well as being low in sodium and high in dietary fiber. Blueberries are now considered to be one of a key group of food products that fall into the “nutriceutical” category. Research indicates that Anthocyanins, which makes up the blueberries blue pigment, may help prevent cancer and slow the effects of aging.
