The pigments that gives berries their gorgeous blue and red hues are also good for your health.
Berries contain phytochemicals and flavanoids that are said to assist in preventing some forms of cancer. Cranberries and blueberries contain a substance that may prevent bladder infections. Blueberries and raspberries also contain lutein, which is good for healthy vision.
One cup of strawberries contains over 100mg of vitamin C, almost as much as a cup of orange juice. Vitamin C is important for immune system function and for strong connective tissue. Strawberries also add calcium, magnesium, folate and potassium to their 'super-punch'.
Berry Smoothie
A great way to add berries to your diet is by adding them to your smoothies. You get the most amazing smoothie colours and goodness. Oh by the way - blueberries are said to boost memory.
You will need;
- banana, berries, flaxseeds, rice milk, ice blocks and blend
This makes a delish breakfast or drinky-snack during the day, both filling and a powerhouse of goodness.
Better than any argument is to rise at dawn
and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup. - Wendell Berry
