Unsweetened Dried Blueberries

Unsweetened Dried Blueberries

When we say natural we mean NATURAL! No added sugar, juice, sulfur, etc. If you can think of it, we havent added it. Our top spies at Bella Viva have been on surveillance in search for all natural dried blueberries and found several. All were infused with sugar or juice and we dont consider that natural so we teamed up with a neighboring farmer, dried our own without any sugar or juice and they're GREAT!

Blueberry Brain Power
When aging animals were fed a diet rich with blueberries, it improved their learning capability and motor skills making them the mental equivalent of far younger animals. The blueberrys ability to prevent oxidative stress to the brain appears to prevent effects of age related conditions such as Alzheimers disease. Learn more about similar studies at WebMD.com.

Blueberry Apoptosis
Ellagic Acid found in Blueberries seem to prevent cell prolife and help damaged cells induce apoptosis so that damaged cells are destroyed and do not turn cancerous. Learn more about Ellagic Acid at the American Cancer Society.

Blueberries Fight E. Coli
The blueberry is closely related to the cranberry. They even share some of the same beneficial properties such as the ability to prevent and fight urinary tract infections caused by E. Coli. Learn more at LiveStrong.com.

Strong Vascular System
Dried Blueberries are loaded with anthocyanins which gives fruit their dark pigment. Anthocyanins help support the vascular systems integrity as well as promotes the effects of vitamin C. Discover more at Advances.Nutrition.org.

Because dehydrated blueberries are so healthy and tasty, we've been looking for a place to get unsweetened dried blueberries so we can add them to our online selection for people to buy. All the dehydrated blueberries we sampled had some sort of sugar or syrup added but we really wanted to offer something more natural. We found out that a neighboring farmer of ours is a blueberry farmer and he let us try drying some of his blueberries. We dried whole blueberries in the same manner we dry our natural dehydrated fruits and found the perfect conditions to make unsweetened dried blueberries. Our neighbor is now our official blueberry supplier. For your convenience you can buy dried blueberries in 3 different sizes ranging from 12oz, 5lbs, and 20lb boxes of bulk dried blueberries. Our dehydrated blueberries have NO preservatives so each bite presents you with an unaltered sweet and tangy flavor of a fresh blueberry!
