Our blueberries are our product with the highest antioxidant capacity, our antioxidant kings!
Our blueberries are (im)perfect because they do not meet the market's standards of beauty, which are too strict and do not allow them to be sold in traditional markets. Our baskets aim to help our suppliers and bring these magical berries to your home!
And why are they considered superfoods?
These fruits help our bodies fight diseases such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular problems. In addition to containing an important chemical substance for burning saturated fats, resveratrol, they are also low in calories and have a high nutritional value.
They are rich in vitamins B and C, and manganese. This superfood is high in iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, copper and folic acid. Rich in fiber, they have enviable anti-inflammatory superpowers. They combat bad cholesterol (LDL) and protect good cholesterol (HDL). Their antioxidant properties allow a reduction in LDL oxidation levels, helping to keep our hearts healthy. The prevention of heart disease is also possibly ensured by eating blueberries, as these magical berries help to lower blood pressure!
