About Blueberries
Blueberries are small, deep-blue berries eaten fresh by the handful, stirred into porridge and yoghurt, or baked into muffins and pies. At just 63.9 kcal per 100 g, they're a light option, with 14.6 g of carbohydrate of which 9.36 g is naturally occurring sugar. Fat and protein are minimal at 0.31 g and 0.7 g respectively, and sodium is essentially absent. They provide a modest but useful mix of minerals, including 85.6 mg of potassium, 11.7 mg of calcium, 6.18 mg of magnesium and 0.34 mg of iron, alongside 8.06 mg of vitamin C.
Fresh berries like these fit comfortably into a balanced diet as a naturally sweet alternative to processed snacks, without the added sugars or fats that often come with desserts. Their sugar content is intrinsic to the fruit rather than added, which is generally viewed more favourably than free sugars in guidance on healthy eating. As a practical tip, frozen blueberries retain their nutrient profile well and are handy for blending into smoothies year-round, since fresh ones can be pricey out of season.
