Calories in Blueberries
Indigenous peoples called them "star berries" — and turned them into survival food
What makes blueberries so powerful?
Long before "antioxidant" was a marketing term, Native American communities across North America were drying blueberries into pemmican, a dense mix of dried meat, fat, and berries that sustained hunting trips for generations. They're called native fruit for a reason: blueberries are one of the few major commercial fruits that originated in North America, only domesticated for mass farming in 1916. The pigment that gives them their color, anthocyanin, is the same compound researchers have linked to slower age-related memory decline — and wild blueberries pack roughly twice the antioxidants of the larger, cultivated kind sold in most supermarkets.
Eat them whole rather than juicing — most of the anthocyanins are concentrated in the skin. Frozen blueberries retain nearly all their antioxidant content, so they're a cheaper option with no real nutritional downside. Pairing them with a vitamin C source like citrus can also help your body absorb more iron from the rest of the meal.
