About Blueberry roll
A blueberry roll is a sweet pastry traditionally filled with fresh or preserved blueberries, often rolled in dough and baked until golden. Commonly associated with European and American cuisine, it is a popular dessert or breakfast item. Blueberries, the star ingredient, provide a rich source of antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which give the berries their vibrant color. While the overall nutritional profile of blueberry rolls varies depending on the recipe, typical ingredients such as refined flour, butter, and sugar mean they are high in carbohydrates and fats. However, the inclusion of blueberries boosts their nutritional value slightly, offering dietary fiber, vitamin C, and manganese. Homemade versions can be modified to be healthier through the use of whole grain flours and reduced sugar content.
Health Benefits
- Rich in antioxidants (e.g., anthocyanins from blueberries) that support immune function and help fight oxidative stress.
- Provides dietary fiber (1-2 grams per roll depending on recipe), which aids in digestion and supports gut health.
- Contains manganese, an essential mineral found in blueberries, important for bone health and enzymatic functions.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store blueberry rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate to extend freshness up to 5 days. To serve warm, reheat in the oven or microwave.
Common Questions About Blueberry roll Nutrition
How many calories and nutrients are in a blueberry roll?
A typical blueberry roll contains around 200-350 calories, depending on size and recipe. It provides around 3-5 grams of protein and is generally high in carbohydrates due to the flour and sugar content, with around 35-50 grams of carbs per roll. Blueberries contribute some fiber (1-2 grams) and vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin K in small amounts.
Can I eat a blueberry roll on a keto or low-carb diet?
Blueberry rolls are not typically keto or low-carb diet-friendly as they are made with refined flour and sugar, resulting in a high carbohydrate count—around 35-50 grams of carbs per roll. Keto or low-carb versions can be made by substituting almond flour and a low-carb sweetener.
Are blueberry rolls healthy or are there any concerns?
Blueberry rolls can be enjoyed as an occasional treat. They provide some antioxidants and vitamins from the blueberries, but their high sugar and refined carbohydrate content may contribute to blood sugar spikes if eaten in excess. Opting for recipes with whole-grain flour or lower sugar can improve their nutritional profile.
What is the recommended portion size for a blueberry roll?
A recommended portion size for a blueberry roll is one small to medium roll, which typically contains 200-350 calories. Pairing it with a source of protein or healthy fat, such as yogurt or nuts, can help balance blood sugar and make the snack more filling.
How does a blueberry roll compare to a cinnamon roll?
Both blueberry rolls and cinnamon rolls are sweet pastries, but blueberry rolls are typically fruitier with natural antioxidants from blueberries, while cinnamon rolls tend to be higher in sugar and calories due to icing or added sweeteners. Blueberry rolls might provide slightly more fiber and vitamin C, depending on the recipe.
