Description

Food Description:
Frozen blueberries are small, dark blue fruits with a sweet and slightly acidic flavor. They are harvested at their optimal ripeness and then frozen to preserve their freshness, texture, and nutritional value. They are ideal for use in dessert recipes, smoothies, muffins, sauces, and salads, adding a touch of color and a refreshing taste.

Origin:
The blueberry is native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, especially North America and Europe. In Latin America, its production and consumption have been increasing, and freezing allows this fruit to be available year-round without losing its properties.

Properties:
Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which contribute to cardiovascular health and the prevention of cellular aging. They are also a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins C and K, and minerals like manganese. Being frozen, they retain most of their nutrients and can be stored for long periods without losing quality.

Synonyms in Spanish (Latin America):
Depending on the country, blueberries may be known as mirtilos, arándanos azules, or simply arándanos. In some regions, to distinguish them from other similar fruits, they are called arándanos azules congelados (frozen blueberries).
