Tropical blueberries are extreme super fruits
The first analysis of the healthful antioxidant content of blueberries that grow wild in Mexico, Central and South America concludes that some of these fruits have even more healthful antioxidants than the blueberries — already renowned as “super fruits” — sold throughout the United States. These extreme super fruits could provide even more protection against heart disease, cancer and other conditions, the report suggests. It appears in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
This is really interesting – blueberries that grow wild are more potent that those that are farmed, even those that are farmed organically. I’ve always favored wild-harvested ingredients for my products, when they are available, such as the shea butter that I use in my organic moisturizer.
