Blueberries
Blueberries belongs to the family Ericaceae. Highbush blueberries are classified as Vaccinium corymbosum.

Round and smooth-skinned, these blue-black berries are juicy and sweet. Blueberries have been around for thousands of years and were once called "star berries" because of the star-shaped calyx on the top of each berry. Wild blueberries are delicious and have a unique flavor. Blueberries are native to North America and have more to offer than just good looks and good taste.

Besides being a good source of vitamin C and fibre, they have an exciting nutrition story to tell too! One cup of blueberries equals one serving, and this amount of blueberries has 15% of the vitamin C and 14% of the dietary fiber our bodies need every day. That’s why blueberries are good sources of these nutrients. Just like all other fruits, blueberries contain no cholesterol or fat and are also low in calories. Blueberries are low-fat, saturated fat-free, sodium-free, cholesterol-free and a good source of fibre.
