The "wild" Blueberry plant is a perennial shrub mainly native to North
America. Plants in the same family, such as the Bilberry, can also be
found in South America, Europe, and Asia.
These Blueberry plants are tolerant of fire and often thrive after a
fire sweeps through their growing area. Plants of this species usually
grow to about one foot tall. Other varieties of Blueberry can grow
anywhere from 4 inches to 16 feet tall!
Tiny Blueberry flowers are bell-shaped and can range in hue from white
or greenish to pale pink or red. The fruits are small, only 1/4 to 1/2
inch in diameter, with a five-pointed "crown" on the bottoms. Young
fruits are pale green in color, turning purple-red, then finishing with a
beautiful deep blue when they are fully ripe. Fresh Blueberry fruits
have a protective whitish bloom coating their skins, and the insides of
these delicious, sweet fruits are a translucent white or light green
flesh.
The striking indigo color of Blueberries boldly reveals the wealth of
antioxidants that can be found inside - anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins,
resveratrol, flavonols, pterostilbene, kaempferol, and tannins, to name
a few! These antioxidants have a well-deserved reputation for doing
great things, such as protecting cells and tissues, improving the
integrity of the veins and the entire vascular system, and preventing
free-radical damage.
Blueberry consumption also supports neurological health. It protects the
brain against oxidative stress and enhances cognition, memory, and
learning. Studies have shown that when a diet rich in Blueberries is
introduced, learning capacity and motor skills can greatly improve for
aging animals. The zeaxanthin and lutein in Blueberry may also support
healthy eyesight, and Blueberries may even have a balancing effect on
mood.
Blueberries are a good friend to our hearts, too! They help maintain

cell components called glycosaminoglycans, which affect the control of
blood pressure.
