Blueberries
Blueberries contain more powerful disease fighting antioxidants than any other fruit or vegetable. So well known for their antioxidants, they are often referred to as “brain berries” of “youth berries”.
Ever wondered why Blueberries have that intense blue-purple colour? This is attributable to the anthocyanin pigments. The darker the berry the higher the anthocyanin content. Anthocyanin is what gives Blueberries their powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
