BLUEBERRY
Blueberries are the fruits of
a shrub that belong to the heath (Ericaceae) family whose other
members include the cranberry and bilberry as well as the azalea,
mountain laurel and rhododendron. Blueberries grow in clusters and
range in size from that of a small pea to a marble. They are deep in
color, ranging from blue to maroon to purple-black, and feature a
white-gray waxy "bloom" that covers the berry's surface and serves
as a protective coat. The skin surrounds a semi-transparent flesh
that encases tiny seeds. Cultivated blueberries are typically mildly
sweet, while those that grow wild have a more tart and tangy flavor.
Health
Benefits
Blueberries are literally bursting with nutrients
and flavor, yet very low in calories. Recently, researchers at Tufts
University analyzed 60 fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant
capability. Blueberries came out on top, rating highest in their
capacity to destroy free radicals.
