Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / February 2006blueberries jam
They say that blueberries are packed with anti-oxydants. Do they survive during the production of blueberries jam? > They say that blueberries are packed with anti-oxydants. > Do they survive during the production of blueberries jam? some will, some wont but the question I'd be asking is that would the benefit of the antioxidants be outweighed by the intake of added sugar present in the jam?

Or you can have the jam with some other acidic food such as yogurt or kefir (both cotain lactic acid). Or you can consume a soluble fiber food with the jam so as to slow down its digestion. More elegant solution is to choose frozen wild organic blueberries instead of blueberry jam. Wild blueberries are tiny, which means that their proportion of skin to flesh is greater than in cultivated blueberries. Consequently wild blueberries have a significantly greater antioxidant flavonoid content and a far lower sugar content than do cultivated blueberries, which are larger and sweeter. You can sweeten wild blueberries with stevia extract instead of sugar. >>> > They say that blueberries are packed with anti-oxydants. >>> > Do they survive during the production of blueberries jam?

Yes, just blueberries, and the wild blueberries are better in my opinion and to my taste. I just sweeten them with my saliva when I eat them. : o ) George > Yes, just blueberries, and the wild blueberries are better > in my opinion and to my taste.

What really brings out their flavour I find is to heat them veyr gently (which shouldn't take too much of the antioxidant value out of them) and then pour them over a generous dollop of vanilla ice-cream.. so much for the healthy diet but they do taste fantastic that way :-) |
