Is blueberry or berry a superfood ?


Possibly the most studied superfood group, berries, remain under scientific evaluation and are not proven to have "superfood" health benefits.[8] In fact, blueberries, as a popular example, are not especially nutritious, having high content of only three essential nutrients:vitamin Cvitamin K and manganese.[1]

Berries
Claim: The superfood of the century. Packed with essential nutrients, berries have been labelled as the best food to help brain development, higher IQ, energy and boost immunity against infection.


Reality: There is no published evidence supporting the role of berries in IQ. They do contain folic acid, though this appears across a wide range of plant-based foods.
