About Blueberry bread

Blueberry bread is a baked good typically made with a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, butter or oil, and fresh or dried blueberries. Originating from American cuisine, this sweet bread combines the rich flavors of a traditional quick bread with the tart, fruity brightness of blueberries. Blueberries are low in calories but packed with nutrients, adding significant health benefits to this treat. While it is moderately high in carbohydrates and fats due to its bread base, it also provides some fiber and antioxidants derived from the blueberries. Depending on the recipe, it may also contain a small amount of protein and certain vitamins like Vitamin A and B-complex vitamins.

Health Benefits

• Blueberries are high in antioxidants such as anthocyanins, which support cellular health and reduce oxidative stress.
• Provides dietary fiber (up to 2g per slice depending on the recipe) from both blueberries and flour, aiding in digestion and promoting gut health.
• Blueberries contain Vitamin C, boosting the immune system and improving skin health.
