Not all blueberries are identical. The wild Nordic blueberries and lowbush blueberries differ clearly from the larger, cultivated varieties often found in stores, in terms of color, taste, and nutritional value.
Lowbush Blueberries
Vimergy’s blueberry powder contains only one thing; “lowbush” blueberries, wild-harvested in Newfoundland, Canada, in a region with some of the cleanest air, purest water, and least pollution in the world. Lowbush blueberries are called Vaccinium Angustifolium in Latin, while our Nordic wild blueberries are called Vaccinium myrtillus.
Rich in Anthocyanins and Vitamin C
Blueberries are rich in vitamins and minerals, but above all rich in antioxidants of the anthocyanin type. These anthocyanins give the blueberries their blue color.
Besides anthocyanins, blueberries contain several other vitamers and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin C, iron, and B vitamins. Additionally, blueberries contain beneficial beta-carotene and lutein, which is a carotenoid.
Wide Range of Uses
In dried form, you can use blueberries year-round for breakfast, snacks, or cooking. On porridge, in muesli, in smoothies, in sauces, in baked goods, or in desserts.

NOTE! All powders are hygroscopic, including blueberries. Depending on the heat, usually during summer, they can clump a little. The powder should not get wet, but sometimes it is clumpy and can easily be broken up with a spoon before use. If this is a problem, we suggest storing the bag in the refrigerator, which helps reduce clumping.
