Quotes to ponder:

"The term 'superfood' is meant to highlight the most nutritious options on the market, providing much of what you need to survive."

"Blueberries deliver rich sources of antioxidants, like polyphenol flavonoids, phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and mono- and polyunsaturated fats."

"Anthocyanin – an antioxidant flavonoid – is the first superfood ingredient in blueberries. It’s the pigment that gives blueberries their delightful color when ripe."
