Dehydrated blueberries
Blueberries are sweet, nutritious and very popular for their taste. They are often labeled as a high-value nutritional food, because they are low in calories and beneficial to the well-being of our body.
Let's see what are the health benefits that blueberries give us, even in the dehydrated version.
From the blueberry bush these berries are born with a bluish hue, one of the most nutritious. One serving of blueberries contains fiber, Vitamin C and Vitamin K, Calcium, Manganese and several antioxidants. In addition to substances useful for our body such as citric acid and malic acid, phosphorus and mirtillin - a substance that makes them cleansers for the digestive tract.
Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals, molecules that can damage cells, contribute to aging and related diseases. Blueberries are believed to have one of the highest levels of antioxidants in all fruits and vegetables, with the main ones belonging to a family of antioxidant polyphenols called flavonoids - anthocyanins in particular.
These small fruits, through the action of anthocyanins, strengthen the capillaries of the legs and face, and are excellent for fighting ocular fatigue - the anthocyanin molecules are effective for the well-being of sight.
The action against oxidative stress also protects brain functions, and some studies have focused on preventing mental aging that the antioxidants of strawberries and blueberries may have. They help brain function and delay mental decline.
Blueberries can help reduce muscle damage after strenuous exercise, which can cause muscle soreness and fatigue. This state is determined in part by local inflammation and oxidative stress in muscle tissue.
The blueberry is a typical fruit of the undergrowth of the northern mountains, defined as a weed by botanists and much appreciated by some animals including goats.
Its abundant fruit production allows it to have excellent quantities for food processing, both for classic blueberry juices, and to create dehydrated blueberries , perfect for long-term storage. < / p>
The ancient Mediterranean civilizations did not know it in the common diet, coming from the mountains of the North, and only in the Middle Ages did it become part of the fruits studied for its purifying, astringent and energetic properties.
In mountain traditions, on the other hand, it is part of the wild berries of the summer tradition, remembered on Blueberry Sunday, a day of frivolity in which young people went in search of fruits - a good excuse to flirt.
In the eighteenth century it was used by doctors to moderate inflamed bile, as an anti-inflammatory therefore, while jams were very popular at a food level.
