Τα blueberries (βακκίνια) περιέχουν 20 είδη ανθοκυανινών (ισχυρά αντιοξειδωτικά). Στις ανθοκυανίνες οφείλεται το χαρακτηριστικό μπλε-ιώδες και κόκκινο χρώμα των συγκεκριμένων μούρων. Τα υπόλοιπα μούρα περιέχουν μόνο τρία έως τέσσερα είδη ανθοκυανίνων. Ένα φλιτζάνι blueberries μας δίνει επίσης βιταμίνη C (λιγότερη από τις φράουλες), μέταλλα και μόλις 83 θερμίδες.
Πως σερβίρονται: Τα ρίχνετε στα δημητριακά, στο γιαούρτι ή τα χτυπάτε με 1 ποτήρι γάλα χαμηλών λιπαρών. Ακόμη μπορείτε να τα συνοδεύσετε με λίγο τυρί χαμηλών λιπαρών σε συνδυασμό με 1-2 cream crackers.

Blueberries (and other berries such as raspberries and blackberries) are an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps protect cells against damage and aids in the absorption of iron.
They also contain a decent amount of soluble fibre, which slows down the rate at which sugar is released into the bloodstream and helps to keep the digestive system happy.
Blueberries are extremely rich in phytochemicals, naturally occurring plant compounds, such as ellagic acid and anthocyanidins which are responsible for the blue, indigo and red colouring. Phytochemicals have been extensively researched for their antioxidant action that helps protect the body against a long list of diseases. However, it is important to note that their superfood label is somewhat over the top and all berries, not just blueberries, have similar benefits.
Blueberries are low in calories and a 100g serving provides 1.5g fibre. A wide range of colourful fruits and vegetables are encouraged as part of a balanced diet and blueberries are a fantastic choice to include. One portion of blueberries is about a handful.
