What Are The Healthiest Berries You Can Eat?

Not only are berries delicious, but they are also nutritious! Berries are full of nutrients that are beneficial to your health. Our team at E. Armata Inc. is proud to provide the freshest berries at the Hunts Point Produce Market. Here are some of the healthiest berries you can get from our berry distributors in the Bronx:

Raspberries

This tart, juicy fruit is often used in desserts and is an excellent fiber source. Raspberries are packed with antioxidant polyphenols called ellagitannins which are useful in reducing oxidative stress. Red raspberries are the most common variety most people eat, but there are several types of raspberries. Black raspberries also have several health benefits and are especially good for reducing heart disease risk factors. 

Blueberries

Blueberries are a popular fruit full of vitamin K. They contain anthocyanins that are shown to reduce oxidative stress. Blueberries can also improve heart health by lowering bad LDL cholesterol. Blueberries can potentially lower the risk of diabetes as well. 

Goji Berries

Goji berries have recently gained popularity in the United States but have been used in traditional Chinese medicine. Goji berries contain vitamin A and zeaxanthin, which is important for eye health. Like the berries we previously mentioned, goji berries contain antioxidant polyphenols. 

Acai Berries

If you’ve ever tried a smoothie bowl, it was probably made with acai berries! Acai berries are high in antioxidants and can reduce blood sugar, insulin, and blood cholesterol levels. The antioxidants in acai berries may also reduce the symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. 

Strawberries

Strawberries are a favorite among many people for a reason! They are full of vitamin C and are incredible for your heart health. Strawberries can potentially lower the risk factors of heart diseases, including high cholesterol, oxidative stress, and triglycerides. Strawberries can also lower inflammatory chemicals in the blood. Most importantly, strawberries can possibly control blood sugar levels which is essential for preventing diabetes.
