Pitch-Forked: Berrying the Competition

Hi there! I’m Blueberry, the tiny but mighty berry that’s grown wild for centuries—and now, a produce aisle staple with some serious “superfood” cred.

I’m loaded with vitamins, fiber, minerals, and polyphenols (especially anthocyanins), which studies link to major health perks—like supporting heart health, brain power, and exercise recovery. (1)

Feeling blue? My natural sweetness is bound to lift your spirits, and my nutrients might help, too! (2)

Blend me into smoothies, sprinkle me on oats, or enjoy by the handful(s). I’ll help you live a little sweeter, stronger, and berry well. So next time you shop, reach for me—fresh or frozen!
