Blueberries, known as "bleuets" in French, are small, nutrient-dense berries prized for their sweet-tart flavor and vibrant blue hue. Native to North America, they are a staple in various cuisines, often used in desserts, smoothies, salads, or eaten fresh as a snack. Rich in vitamins C and K, blueberries are also loaded with antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which contribute to their distinctive color and support heart health, brain function, and immune defense. They are a good source of dietary fiber, promoting digestive health, and are naturally low in calories, sodium, and fat. However, some preparations, like sugary blueberry pies or syrups, may diminish their nutritional benefits. Whether enjoyed fresh, dried, or frozen, blueberries are a versatile and healthful addition to any diet, celebrated both for their robust flavor and impressive health-boosting properties.
