New University of Michigan study reveals new blueberry benefits.
The news about blueberries just keeps getting better and better. Earlier this year a University of Michigan study revealed that the darkly pigmented fruit helps reduce the waistline, lower cholesterol, and high blood sugar.
University of Michigan staff put some overweight rats on a high fat diet and another group of equally obese rats on a low fat diet enhanced with freeze-dried blueberry powder. After a 3 month period the low and high fat groups were compared. The rats on the blueberry enhanced diet lost belly fat, and their cholesterol and harmful triglyceride levels declined. Their blood sugar levels improved too16 Jan Fri 2009
NEW!! No-sugar-added Dried Wild Maine Blueberries
Our new wild blueberries are better than ever for you and your taste buds! We are now drying our berries only using fruit concentrates in the preservation process. With no sugar added, we feel the flavor and texture come as close as you can get to the fresh fruit. These dried wild blueberries have at least half the sugar content of most dried blueberries in the marketplace today.

After years of hard work, our company is proud to be drying Maine grown blueberries in Maine.
