What it is

Michigan blueberries are a variety of the common blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) grown in the state of Michigan. They are typically harvested during the summer months. Blueberries are consumed fresh, frozen, or dried, and are also used to make juices, jams, and other products.

Why it's used

Blueberries are primarily used for their flavor and color in a wide variety of food products. They are common in baked goods like muffins and pies, as well as in jams, jellies, yogurts, and breakfast cereals. Their natural sweetness and slightly tart taste make them a versatile ingredient.

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). While research suggests potential health benefits associated with blueberry consumption, such as antioxidant activity, these are not disease treatment claims. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated various fruit components, but specific evaluations for 'Michigan blueberries' as a distinct ingredient are not typically made.

Allergen info

Blueberries are not one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
