Description

Unsweetened frozen blueberries are small, round fruits with a dark blue or purple color that have undergone a freezing process immediately after harvest to preserve their freshness, flavor, and nutritional properties without the addition of sugars or preservatives. This method allows you to enjoy the benefits of blueberries all year round, even when they are out of season.

Blueberries originated in North America, where they have been consumed and valued since ancient times for their antioxidant and nutritional qualities. They are now also cultivated in various regions of Europe, South America, and Asia.

Regarding their properties, unsweetened frozen blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which help combat oxidative stress and strengthen the immune system. They also provide fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and minerals such as manganese. As they contain no added sugars, they are ideal for healthy diets and for those looking to control their caloric intake.

In different Hispanic American countries, blueberries may also be called moras azules or simply arándanos. The unsweetened frozen form is especially used in recipes like smoothies, desserts, salads, and baked goods, where they add flavor and texture while maintaining an optimal nutritional profile.
