Fresh blueberries are a joy to eat, especially straight from the berry patch in the summer. They burst with flavor, delivering a hit of sweetness to whatever dish you add them to. Super-nutritious, blueberries are rich in the cancer-fighting antioxidants anthocyanins and ellagic acid. Those antioxidants propel blueberries to the top of the list of fruits and vegetables that can destroy free radicals and counter the effects of aging. One cup of fresh blueberries has only 83 calories plus 3.5 mg fiber (12% daily value), 112 mg potassium and 14 mg vitamin C (25% dv).
