The Following: Blueberry Puree

Blueberry puree is made from whole blueberries that have been washed, stemmed, and then pureed or mashed into a smooth consistency. It retains the natural flavor, color, and nutrients of the fruit. It can be made from fresh or frozen blueberries.

Blueberry puree is used to add natural fruit flavor, color, and sweetness to a variety of food products. It is commonly found in jams, jellies, fruit spreads, baked goods, yogurt, and some candies.

Blueberry puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated blueberries and their components, and have not raised safety concerns for typical consumption levels. Evidence suggests that the antioxidants in blueberries may offer health benefits, but more research is needed.
