Berry Season
Black, ras or blue, there’s no bad choice! from Melissa Olson, In Tune Nutrition
Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the delightful array of berries at their peak freshness! The fresher the berry, the more nutritional benefits you receive eating them. Besides being delicious, they come with many health supporting benefits. These berries deserve a special place on your plate or in your bowl:
Blueberries are an everyday superfood! They are antioxidant powerhouses helping protect your cells from oxidative stress and damage and potentially lowering cancer risk. Several studies suggest they support brain function, may lower the risk of dementia, and support cardiovascular and heart health.
They have anti-inflammatory properties and are high in vitamins C, K, fiber, and manganese. Blueberries are an excellent source of lutein and zeaxanthin which are nutrients that support eye health. Blueberries (and other deep blue/red/purple fruits and vegetables) are high in anthocyanins, an antioxidant that has been shown to improve sleep quality.

Blackberries grow abundantly in the PNW! While their thorns do make picking a challenge, they are well worth the effort. Blackberries are packed with antioxidants similar to blueberries, are high in vitamins C, K, and manganese, can help lower inflammation, and are high in fiber as well as anthocyanins.
Raspberries are also quite high in antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, lutein and zeaxanthin. They are also exceptionally high in manganese which plays an important role in bone health, metabolism, skin health and collagen production. Like the other berries, they also have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, manganese, and fiber, and are also loaded with antioxidants. The most nutrient dense strawberries are the varieties that are smaller and a bit tart though any variety is excellent. Gooseberries are attracting a little more attention these days. They are closely related to currants, look similar to grapes, and are a bit more tart. They come in several colors – white, yellow, green, and red/purple. Green gooseberries are more tart (lending well to cooking/baking) while red varieties are sweeter. They are packed with antioxidants and are high in fiber, vitamin C and potassium.
Berries maintain their nutritional value when frozen! Freeze berries at their peak ripeness to enjoy and harness the nutritional benefits year round.
