Tag: Freeze dried blueberries

According to research published in the *Journal of Biomedicine & Biotechnology*, the antioxidant content of blueberries is largely unaffected by freezing or drying. This raises a key question for health-conscious consumers: Are freeze-dried blueberries healthier than fresh, or is one a clear winner?

A 100g serving of fresh blueberries contains approximately 10g of sugar, while the same weight of freeze-dried blueberries can contain nearly 60g of concentrated natural sugars. This dramatic difference reveals that freeze-dried blueberries do have more sugar per gram than their fresh counterparts, a crucial factor for mindful snacking and dietary planning.
