Wild Blueberry Nutrition
A Nutrient-Rich Food
At just 45 calories per 100 grams, or about 71 calories in a cup, Wild Blueberries are packed with antioxidants and deliver substantial nutrients for every calorie consumed. They are naturally low in fat, high in fiber and have no added sugar, sodium or refined starches. Wild Blueberries are also an excellent source of manganese, which is important for bone development. All of this makes Wild Blueberries a naturally nutrient-rich choice–a food that adds important dietary nutrients without adding a lot of extra “empty” calories.
The USDA’s Dietary Guidelines encourage Americans to cut down on foods with “empty calories” and replace them with nutrient-rich foods like Wild Blueberries. With concern about obesity rates and associated health risks such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease, cutting calories without sacrificing nutrition is a wise weight-loss strategy.
