Are you looking for authentic organic dried blueberries, with no added sugar and their natural concentration of anthocyanins preserved, to enjoy the quintessential European antioxidant fruit all year round? Fructivia Organic Dried Blueberries are dried organic Vaccinium myrtillus berries. Distinct, slightly tart taste, chewy texture, intense blue-violet color. Certified Organic, no added sugar.

The benefits of these organic dried blueberries

• Exceptional concentration of anthocyanins: wild blueberries are among the richest fruits in anthocyanins of all European red fruits and berries. These pigments are what give them their characteristic blue-violet color.
• Bioavailable anthocyanins: blueberry anthocyanins are among the best absorbed and most studied. They cross the blood-brain barrier, making them particularly interesting for research into neuroprotection.
• No added sugar: the fruit is dried naturally, without the addition of sugar or sweetened fruit juices.
• Natural Vitamin C and manganese: blueberries are naturally rich in vitamin C and manganese, two essential micronutrients.
• Certified Organic: no pesticides, no GMOs, no preservatives.

Blueberries and their active ingredients

Anthocyanins (anthocyanosides)

Anthocyanins are water-soluble flavonoids responsible for the blueberry's intense blue-violet color. They are powerful antioxidants capable of neutralizing free radicals and protecting cells against oxidative stress. Blueberry anthocyanins (mainly delphinidin, cyanidin, petunidin, peonidin, and malvidin glucosides) are intensely studied for their role in eye health, blood circulation, and neuroprotection. These properties relate to traditional use in Europe and are not yet the subject of an official EFSA health claim for dried blueberries.

Natural Vitamin C

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and protects cells from oxidative stress (official EFSA claim).

Manganese

Manganese contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to normal energy-yielding metabolism (official EFSA claim).

Who are these dried blueberries for?

• People wishing to incorporate an exceptional antioxidant fruit into their daily diet
• Those looking for a natural supply of anthocyanins to support their visual and circulatory health
• Vegans or vegetarians looking for an organic dried fruit from European soil
• Wild berry enthusiasts who want to enjoy them all year round without being limited to the summer season

Composition

No added sugar. No preservatives. Certified Organic. Store in a cool, dry place.

How to use them?

As a snack straight from the bag. In muesli, granola, or porridge for a vibrant, antioxidant-rich blue-violet bowl. In yogurt or fromage blanc with a drizzle of honey. In baking for organic muffins, scones, or clafoutis. Rehydrated for a few minutes in warm water, they regain a texture close to fresh fruit and can be used in sauces or coulis. Their distinct taste pairs particularly well with almonds, lemon, and vanilla.

Precautions

• May temporarily stain teeth and hands (natural pigments)
• Not recommended for people on high-dose anticoagulants without medical advice
• Keep out of reach of young children (choking hazard)

FAQ

Do dried blueberries have the same properties as fresh blueberries?
Drying concentrates the active ingredients (anthocyanins, minerals) but decreases the content of heat-sensitive vitamin C. Dried blueberries are nutritionally very similar to fresh ones, with the advantage of shelf life and concentration.

Why are these blueberries more tart than those in the supermarket?
Because they contain no added sugar. Industrial dried blueberries are often sweetened with apple juice or sugar to soften their natural acidity. The acidity of these blueberries is the signature of their authenticity.

Can they be consumed while on a diet?
Yes, in reasonable quantities. Their high nutritional density and richness in fiber contribute to satiety. A 20-30g handful is a nutritious snack without excess calories.
