Blueberry, Vaccinium myrtllus / Ericaceae
Benefits for the health
The blueberry is a good source of iron, fibre and vitamin C. A 125 g ration corresponds to 15% of the daily recommended vitamin C consumption. The blueberries are free from cholesterol and fat and they are low in calories. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects from various types of cancer, intensifying the immunological activity.

The blueberries contain a bactericidal substance that may protect from cystitis (the bladder inflammation). Potassium plays an important role in the metabolism of the energy; its lack leads to muscular weakness and mental disorders and it also results in bad heart functioning.
