Description

Unsweetened blueberries are small, round fruits with a dark blue or purple color, known for their slightly sweet and tangy flavor. They are a variety of the common blueberry but presented without added sugar, making them ideal for healthy recipes or for those looking to control their sugar intake.

Primarily native to North America, blueberries have been a fundamental part of the diet of several indigenous cultures and are now cultivated in various regions of the world, including countries in Latin America.

These fruits are rich in antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which give them their characteristic color and health benefits. Additionally, they contain vitamins C and K, dietary fiber, and minerals such as manganese. Their consumption helps improve cardiovascular health, strengthen the immune system, and promote good digestion.

In different Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas, blueberries may also be known as mora azul, baya azul, or simply baya in more general contexts.

In cooking, unsweetened blueberries are ideal for preparing desserts, smoothies, salads, sauces, and baked goods, providing a natural and healthy touch without increasing the calorie content with added sugars.
