STUDIES ON THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF BERRIES

US National Library of Medicine - National Institutes of Health

"Berries are a good source of polyphenols, especially anthocyanins, micronutrients, and fiber. In epidemiological and clinical studies, these constituents have been associated with improved cardiovascular risk profiles. Human intervention studies using chokeberries, cranberries, blueberries, and strawberries (either fresh, or as juice, or freeze-dried), or purified anthocyanin extracts have demonstrated significant improvements in LDL oxidation, lipid peroxidation, total plasma antioxidant capacity, dyslipidemia, and glucose metabolism."...find out more

Blackberry

BLACKBERRY is a species of climbing plant of the genus Rubus from the rose family (Rosaceae). They can grow 50-300 cm in height, their stem is more or less covered with thorns and in some places it is woody. The thorns serve for climbing, but also as a defense mechanism against animals that feed on blackberry leaves. It blooms from June to August. After that, a small red berry fruit develops from each individual flower, which later darkens to dark blue and almost black. Blackberries have high nutritional values and contain vitamins C, K, B9, and the essential manganese mineral. The strong purple colour of blackberries comes from anthocyanins that have a strong antioxidant activity has a beneficial effect on our health, especially on the cardiovascular system.

Raspberry

RASPBERRY is a low-growing perennial plant from the rose family (Rosaceae). It gives fruit immediately after being planted reaching its full fertility in the third year. It gives fruit once or more times a year and lives on average 8-14 years, but it can even reach the age of up to 20 years. It grows in the form of a bush up to 3.5 m tall. The name idaeus comes from the name of the mountain Ida in Crete. There is a Greek myth according to which raspberry saved Zeus' life when he was a child because his mother hid him behind a raspberry bush to protect him from the then supreme god Kron, his father, who wanted to kill him. In the Middle Ages, raspberries began to be used for medicinal purposes and only rich people could use them.

Chokeberry

CHOKEBERRY (aronia melanocarpa) came to Europe from the east coast of North America. Initially, it was grown only for aesthetics and decoration. Aronia berries (chokeberries) are dark purple in colour, sour and pungent in taste. The berries ripen in early September and remain on the bush until November. The dark green leaves of chokeberry become magically red in autumn, and even more beautiful are the delicate white flowers that become magnificent in May when the chokeberry bushes bloom. Numerous scientific studies show that chokeberry is very rich in antioxidants, especially anthocyanin and polyphenols. The dark purple colour of chokeberry comes from anthocyanins. Ripe chokeberries contain large amounts of biophenols, tannins, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. According to research on the effects of antioxidants (ORAC), chokeberries have one of the highest values ever measured - 16.062 µmol per 100 g. Aronia is called the healthiest plant in the world and is one of the strongest known antioxidants today. Aronia contains over 300 biologically active compounds and is very rich in vitamins and minerals.

Strawberry

STRAWBERRY (Fragaria) is first mentioned in records from the 18th century and is known to have originated as a hybrid of two species of wild strawberry from North America and Chile. It is interesting that, from the botanical point of view, the "fruit" of the strawberry that we enjoy so much, is actually an enlarged and thickened plant flower on the stem. In terms of micronutrient content, strawberries are a real treasure trove of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
