{"product_id":"blabarspulver-500-g","title":"Blueberry powder 500 g","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eOur 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.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nWe primarily use our powder for its nutritional value - meaning taste and color take a backseat for the best nutritional value \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e an affordable price (so that larger quantities can be consumed)\n\nThe 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.\n\nOur berries come from either Sweden\/Norrland or from southeastern Europe.\n\nWe 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.\n\nThe difference between the various berry forms available for purchase:\n\n- \u003cstrong\u003eFresh\u003c\/strong\u003e berries are always best, but they are difficult to eat and store in therapeutic quantities.\n\n- \u003cstrong\u003ePressed and dried\u003c\/strong\u003e powders: high nutritional content and affordable price, but less taste and color. Fewer transports.\n\n- \u003cstrong\u003eJuice\u003c\/strong\u003e: not much nutrition but a lot of taste and color\n\n- \u003cstrong\u003eFreeze-dried\u003c\/strong\u003e: most nutrients among the powders, a lot of taste and color, and easy to consume in therapeutic quantities - but unfortunately completely unaffordable for therapy\n\n- \u003cstrong\u003eUnpressed and dried\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\n\u003col\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eSwedish 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \t\u003cli\u003eEuropean counterparts are picked in countries with little industry and a lot of forest, providing employment opportunities in rural areas - Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\nThey are collected by a German company that is involved throughout the entire process and conducts a total of 9 laboratory tests on all batches.\n\nBlueberries are naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. They also contain plenty of sterols and antioxidants - primarily the pigment anthocyanin.\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVery 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.\n\nTrivia!\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\"\u003eBlueberries 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\n📌 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/phdev.se\/energibars-blabarspulver-nakenhavre\/\"\u003eEnergy bars with blueberry powder and naked oats\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVitamins: A (retinol equivalents), C, E, K, folic acid (B9), carotenes, B1, B2, B3, B6, etc.\nMinerals: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Iron, Zinc, Selenium, Iodine, etc.\nFatty acids: Omega 3 and Omega 6 (in the seeds)\n\u003ch3\u003eNutritional declaration per 100 g\u003c\/h3\u003e\nEnergy: 1280 kJ \/ 307 kcal\nFat: 9.08 g (of which saturated fat 0.49 g)\nCarbohydrates: 24.5 g (of which sugars 16 g)\nProtein: 9.19 g\nSalt: \u0026lt;0.0012 g\nVitamin C: 6.8 mg","brand":"pH-balans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58058890609014,"sku":"1-NA-110-03","price":357.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/4360\/6902\/files\/Blabarspulver-500-g.jpg?v=1781071834","url":"https:\/\/phbalans.com\/en\/products\/blabarspulver-500-g","provider":"pH-BALANS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
