What it is
Blueberries are small, round, blue-purple fruits that grow on bushes. They are native to North America but are now cultivated worldwide. Blueberries are typically eaten fresh or used in jams, pies, and other baked goods.
Why it's used

Health notes
Blueberries are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes blueberries as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have also evaluated blueberries and their components. Research suggests that compounds in blueberries may have positive effects on heart health and cognitive function, though more studies are needed to confirm these benefits.
