What is the nutritional value of blueberries?

Blueberries serve as a nutritional powerhouse with high amounts of antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber and manganese. One cup of blueberries contains only 80 calories, almost no sodium and no fat.

One cup of blueberries provides almost 25 percent of the daily requirement for vitamin C, which helps maintain a healthy immune system, and the antioxidants in blueberries help fight heart disease and cancer. The 3.6 grams of fiber per cup of blueberries help keep cholesterol levels in check for better heart health and may help with weight management by making dieters feel full faster. Manganese is crucial for bone development and converting fats, carbohydrates and protein into energy.
