Blueberry Extract vs Blueberry Powder: The True Health Benefits
Average Concentration and Nutritional Content in Blueberries
Blueberries are well known for their dense nutrient content.
All forms of blueberry, whether as a whole blueberry fruit, juice, concentrate extracts, or powders, have some health benefits.
However, different sources of blueberries differ in their nutritional value, which also affects the potency of the superfood.
Blueberry extracts come from concentrated blueberry juice and are sold in the form of pills or capsules.
Blueberry powder, on the other hand, comes from freeze-dried blueberries which are then finely ground to make a powder.
These food supplements can be harvested and processed from either wild blueberries or cultivated blueberries.
Cultivated blueberries are bigger, sweeter, and have a higher water content compared to wild blueberries. However, they have a lower nutritional value.
According to research, organic fruits such as Nordic wild blueberries (bilberries) contain significantly more nutrients than cultivated varieties. For instance, they have much higher levels of important antioxidant phytochemicals like anthocyanin.
