Blueberry champion in antioxidants
The blue berry is rich in anthocyanins, the vegetable red, purple and blue dyes, one of the most important antioxidants of the blueberry.
Antioxidants protect tissues and the DNA in cells against free radicals. Free radicals can cause tissue and DNA damage. DNA damage can lead to cell aging and diseases.
A method for determining the antioxidant value of vegetables, fruit and herbs is expressed in ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). Blueberries have an ORAC value of at least 2400 per 100 grams. The table speaks for itself.
