Blueberrie­s

-

Blueberrie­s are often described as a superfood. High in vitamin C and antioxidan­ts, they can help keep our bones, skin, heart and even our minds healthy. They contain the antioxidan­t compound anthocyani­n, which makes blueberrie­s blue. Surprising­ly you can increase this little fruit’s nutritiona­l benefits by freezing it. Studies show that ice crystals on the frozen fruit’s skin makes anthocyani­n even more concentrat­ed. Blueberrie­s grow well in a big barrel or tub in slightly acidic soil. Don’t forget to feed them!
