What it is

Blueberries and raspberries are popular berries native to North America and Europe. They grow on bushes and are harvested when ripe. These berries are commonly consumed fresh, frozen, or dried.

Why it's used

International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated berries and their components, generally recognizing their safety. While research suggests potential health benefits from antioxidants in berries, they are not regulated as drugs, and no specific health claims are approved for them in the U.S. food supply.
