What is blueberry juice made from?<\/h2>\n\n
There are several varieties of blueberries. We will discuss two of them here, each of which has its own benefits. Both types of blueberries are a delicious and healthy snack between meals, or a nice addition to your breakfast. By drinking blueberry juice, you get a lot of the good nutrients from blueberries in an easy way. The somewhat larger, rounder berries you can usually buy in stores under the name “blueberries” are the fruits of the Vaccinium corymbosum.<\/em> These blueberries are also called bunch blueberries because they grow in clusters on the branch. This makes them easy to pick. Therefore, this type of blueberry is widely cultivated; including in our own country. In North America this species occurs in the wild, in Europe it does not. You can often buy it year-round in the Netherlands; possibly in frozen form. Even then, this blueberry is still healthy. <\/p>\n\n
Wild blueberries for picking<\/h2>\n\n
The blueberry that you can also pick in the wild in the Netherlands is a different type of berry, from the Vaccinium myrtillus<\/em>. This blueberry is slightly smaller and does not grow in clusters like the blueberry. Whereas the blueberry has light flesh, the wild blueberry has dark purple flesh, so its juice is also much darker colored. Blueberries also stand out for their mild, sweet flavor, where wild blueberries often taste a bit more acidic or tart. You can pick European blueberries in the wild between April and June; sometimes there is a blooming period later in the year and you have a second chance. In general, wild berries are very rich in nutrients. That’s why, for example, we made our Antioxidant shot<\/a> with mostly wild-picked berries. <\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n\nAntioxidants in blueberry juice<\/h2>\n\n
Blueberry juice is one of the richest sources of antioxidants available. They contain several types of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E. Antioxidants<\/a> are nutrients that fight free radicals. Free radicals can damage your body’s cells. Because of this, antioxidants can help protect your body from oxidative damage, such as from sunlight or air pollution. Anthocyanins, quercetin and resveratrol are also present in these healthy berries. <\/p>\n\n
Blueberry juice versus other types of berry juice<\/h2>\n\n
According to science(1)<\/a>, most types of berry juice are relatively full of antioxidants. Compared to other types of berries, blueberry juice scores the highest, according to a Chinese study (2)<\/a> that compared blueberries, blackcurrants and strawberries based on their antioxidant value. <\/p>\n\n
The science about blueberry juice<\/h2>\n\n
Over the years, much scientific research has been done on the health benefits of blueberry juice. This has focused mainly on the effects of the antioxidants it contains. As part of a British study (3)<\/a> on the protective effect of antioxidants in fruits, 168 healthy subjects drank a liter of fruit drink made from apple juice and blueberry juice for four weeks. In this study, the researchers paid particular attention to the antioxidant ascorbic acid (vitamin C). This study found that the antioxidants in this fruit drink helped protect the subjects from damage caused by free radicals. Another, small-scale study (4)<\/a> confirmed the protective effect of blueberry juice against oxidative damage. <\/p>\n\n
