Blueberry Puree

Blueberry puree is made from whole blueberries that have been processed into a smooth, thick liquid. Blueberries are small, round fruits that grow on bushes in temperate climates. The fruit is typically washed, sorted, and then pureed, sometimes with the addition of water or other ingredients depending on the intended use.

Blueberry puree is primarily used to add natural fruit flavor and color to foods. It can also contribute to texture and sweetness. Manufacturers often include it in products like yogurts, ice creams, baked goods, jams, and smoothies.

Blueberry puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, fiber, and antioxidants like anthocyanins. International bodies such as JECFA have evaluated blueberries and their components. At typical consumption levels found in food products, blueberry puree is not associated with adverse health effects.
