Organic Wild Blueberry Powder from Freeze Dried Wild Blueberries, Bilberries, Antioxidant Superfood, for Smoothies, Baking and Flavoring, 170g

Blueberries are a superfood because of their high antioxidant content, which helps protect the body against free radicals that cause cell damage. Beneficial effects on brain health, heart health, cholesterol and blood pressure have been reported in studies testing 2 ounces/50 g or more of freeze-dried blueberries per day. Because 50 g is 10 servings/tablespoons or 1/3 of this package, this product is best viewed as a supplement, not as a preventive agent or treatment for chronic disease. The product has superb quality, and judging from the calorie content (one cup of fresh blueberries has 84 cal), this 6-ounce bag of freeze-dried blueberries is the equivalent of 7-1/4 cups of fresh fruit. The picture shows one teaspoon (1/3 serving) of blueberry powder goes a long way in a 5.3-ounce cup of lemon yogurt, and tastes absolutely delicious. This would also be a great addition to a smoothie, batter or dough where the blueberry particles can mix in. The online description clarifies the powder is not designed to dissolve in liquid. Sure enough, particles remained when I tried to mix the powder in cold milk, and a tiny amount dissolved partly but not completely in a cup of lemon tea. Because the water content and extra volume of fresh blueberries are also benefits, I will continue to get most of my blueberry intake from fresh fruit. But it was a treat to try this high-quality freeze-dried powder, and I know some health-conscious athletes who would love to have this on a regular basis.

I tried the raspberry flavor and I knew I just had to try the blueberry flavor. I must say its equally delicious! This power works perfectly in smoothies and I found that it actually works great for baking too! The product has a vibrant color of fresh berries. Whether I'm blending it into smoothies, mixing it into pancake batter, or flavoring yogurt, the intense berry flavor shines through in every dish.

This product shipped quickly and was well-packaged. This product seems very high quality, but there were a few odd discrepancies I noticed. The description states blueberries and bilberries for some reason, but no bilberries are listed on the ingredients. The trivia on the back also included some information on the Native Americans, but the blueberries are from Croatia. Not a big deal, just a bit odd. The freeze-dried blueberry powder does consistently looks and tastes high quality. I didn't notice anything but the blueberry fruits themselves in the mix. The price point seems a bit high, but they're organic, fairly non-perishable, and somewhat concentrated in this format. I had no issues with this product.

As described, this product is powdered blueberry - and the color and flavor profile is very high. Made a great addition to yogurt, and I plan to use this for adding even more pop to blueberry muffins. Be careful with this as it will certainly stain clothing if you get a bit of the concentrated powder, or a powder-liquid mix onto your clothes/towels. I'm not sure how exactly this is produced, but it definitely seems like the real deal. Recommended for the flavor and enhanced color this provides. Price-wise, I will watch for sale or discount offer before jumping at another purchase, but quality and taste-wise, it's a winner.

Added this to my plain yogurt. Throw in some granola and you have a wonderful snack. Since this is freeze dried powder it goes further. Powder is also handy in baking if you are avoiding moisture but want a strong berry flavor. It is kind of pricey but it can be used right away in so many things where whole berries might limit your uses.
