Blueberry powder 500 g

Our blueberry powder contains whole berries with seeds and skins that have been dried at room temperature to best preserve all vital nutrients. Approximately one-tenth of the berries remain after drying and pressing, meaning ten kilograms of fresh berries are needed for every kilogram of blueberry powder. We primarily use our powder for its nutritional value - meaning taste and color take a backseat for the best nutritional value and an affordable price (so that larger quantities can be consumed) The berry powder we have is first pressed and then dried and pulverized to utilize the seeds and skin where most of the nutrients are located. In dried, powdered form, larger quantities can then be consumed for, for example, vision and digestion. Our berries come from either Sweden/Norrland or from southeastern Europe. We would ideally only source Swedish berries, but due to raw material shortages, we also source European ones. Nutritionally, they are similar, but the European berries have less flavor due to fewer hours of sunshine. The difference between the various berry forms available for purchase: - Fresh berries are always best, but they are difficult to eat and store in therapeutic quantities. - Pressed and dried powders: high nutritional content and affordable price, but less taste and color. Fewer transports. - Juice: not much nutrition but a lot of taste and color - Freeze-dried: most nutrients among the powders, a lot of taste and color, and easy to consume in therapeutic quantities - but unfortunately completely unaffordable for therapy - Unpressed and dried powders - difficult to obtain as strong drying is required to dry without pressing first. Often, drying at higher temperatures is necessary, which reduces the nutritional value. These also require more and refrigerated transports as they cannot be frozen or packed as densely as pressed ones.

1. Swedish blueberries are picked in Norrland (slightly coarser powder as it's a small producer with less drying capacity) by local or hired pickers from Europe. We conduct spot checks at AK lab in Borås.
2. European counterparts are picked in countries with little industry and a lot of forest, providing employment opportunities in rural areas - Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria.

They are collected by a German company that is involved throughout the entire process and conducts a total of 9 laboratory tests on all batches. Blueberries are naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. They also contain plenty of sterols and antioxidants - primarily the pigment anthocyanin.

Usage

Very suitable for daily consumption. Feel free to mix into smoothies or juice. Perfect as a flavoring or coloring agent. Do not heat the powder above 42 degrees Celsius, as heat will destroy its fine nutritional properties. Trivia! Blueberries were used in folk medicine as a remedy for diarrheal diseases and other stomach ailments. Boiled blueberries were recommended specifically for diarrhea, while raw berries were considered good for constipation. 📌 Energy bars with blueberry powder and naked oats
