Frozen wild blueberries

17 February 2011 – The Wild Blueberry Association of North America (WBANA) has introduced a frozen retail pack and a new dried fruit application featuring Canadian wild blueberries as the signature ingredient.

Wild blueberries are packed with powerful antioxidants that can help to influence how well our bodies age by reducing oxidative stress – which is thought to be an underlying cause of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and other chronic diseases.

Their small size makes them easy to use in manufacturing and they can be processed whole, without bursting, maintaining their taste, shape, texture and deep blue colour through a variety of baking and production processes.

Wild blueberries from Canada and Maine are available individually quick frozen, canned, dehydrated and sugar infused, as well as in purée, concentrate and powdered formats.
