berries

Berries are loved for their sweetness and nutritional benefits. If you've never grown your own strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or boysenberries, you get a report card containing an "I" for an incomplete life.


Berries go well by themselves, in yogurt, on cereal, in salads, in smoothies, with ice cream, in pies, and even mixed into pancakes.

Many of the berries are fat flushers as well as containing beneficial enzymes to help aid the digestive processes. All berries are packed with vitamin C, which stimulates the production of carnitine, an amino acid that boosts metabolism. Many berries also contain other antioxidants like phenols and flavonoids that fight free radicals.

The strawberry is the most popular berry in the world, followed by the blueberry. It wouldn't be a surprise, though, to see the acai berry rise in the rankings, owing to its many purported health benefits and uses.

Bloggers speaking about berries and such can be found at sites like acai-detox and gojiberries.
