According to the website Medical News Today on 'Everything You Need To Know About Blueberries' Wild Blueberry Fruit have some astounding benefits and the Nutrition Facts they provide, which I have included in this post, is astounding. People ask me all the time how the Wild Maine Blueberries compare nutritionally to our Organic Wild Maine Blueberry Barque Chips, Sprinkles and Powder, which is an excellent question and until the Nutritional Label is done on our products, I recommend that you go by the guidelines for one cup of fresh blueberries. We take our fruit from the field, it is frozen and stays frozen at -5 degrees until they are dried. Research shows minimal loss in the freezing and drying process. Our dried products are made with 100% organic Wild Maine blueberries and NOTHING else!! We love that! So here is the chart for fresh blueberries and our products!
Approximately One cup of fresh blueberries (weigh 140g-170g) = 2 tablespoons Powder OR .5 oz Barque Chips OR 3 tablespoons Sprinkles
Nutrition One cup of fresh blueberries contains:
84 calories 0 g of cholesterol 1.1 g of protein 0.49 g of fat 21.45 g of carbohydrate 3.6 g of dietary fiber 14.74 g of total sugars
That same one-cup serving provides:
24 percent of daily vitamin C 5 percent of daily vitamin B6 36 percent of daily vitamin K
Blueberries also provide:
9 milligrams (mg) calcium 0.41 mg of iron 114 mg of potassium 9 mg of magnesium 18 mg of phosphorus 1 mg of sodium 0.24 mg of zinc 9 mg of folate
Blueberries also contain copper, beta-carotene, folate, choline, vitamins A and E, and manganese.
As well as anthocyanins, vitamins, and minerals, blueberries contain a diverse range of phenolic compounds such as quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, and chlorogenic acid. These contribute to the antioxidant capacity of blueberries.
Hope this helps until the nutritional label is complete for our products! #smallbusinesschallenges #doingourbestforyou
