Concentrated Blueberry Puree

Concentrated blueberry puree is made by processing blueberries to remove most of their water content. This process intensifies the natural color and flavor of the fruit. It is used to add a concentrated blueberry taste and color to foods.

Manufacturers use concentrated blueberry puree to provide a natural source of blueberry flavor and color. It is commonly found in dairy products like yogurt and ice cream, as well as in baked goods and snack bars.

Concentrated blueberry puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. Blueberries are a source of antioxidants, which are compounds that may help protect cells from damage. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated blueberry extracts, but specific evaluations for concentrated puree may vary. Evidence on the health benefits of blueberries is ongoing, with typical consumption levels considered safe and potentially beneficial as part of a balanced diet.
