Blueberry powder 1 kg

Our blueberry powder contains whole berries with seeds and skins that have been dried at room temperature to preserve all vital nutrients in the best possible way. Approximately one-tenth of the berries remain after drying and pressing, so for every kilogram of blueberry powder, ten kilograms of fresh berries are used. 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 offer is first pressed, then dried and pulverized to utilize the seeds and skin where most of the nutrients are located. In dried, pulverized form, larger quantities can then be consumed, for example, for vision and digestion. Our berries come from either Sweden/Norrland or from southeastern Europe. We would prefer to only source from Sweden, but due to raw material shortages, we also import from Europe. 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: - 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 flavor and color. Fewer transports. - Juice: not as much nutrition, but lots of flavor and color. - Freeze-dried: most nutritious of the powders, lots of flavor and color, and easy to consume in therapeutic quantities – but unfortunately, completely unaffordable for therapy. - Unpressed and dried powders: difficult to obtain because strong drying is required to dry them without pressing first. Often, they must be dried at higher temperatures, which reduces nutritional value. These also require more and refrigerated transports because they cannot be frozen or compacted like pressed powders.

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 perform random checks at AK lab in Borås.
2. European berries are picked in countries with little industry and much forest, providing employment opportunities in rural areas – Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria.

They are collected by a German company that is involved in the entire process and conducts a total of 9 lab 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. 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. Did you know? Blueberries were used in folk medicine as a remedy for diarrheal diseases and other stomach ailments. Boiled blueberries were recommended for diarrhea, while raw berries were considered good for constipation. 📌 Energy bars with blueberry powder and naked oats
