Berries In Colours Reflect Power In Antioxidants

By Anastacia Sampson

When we get tired of the raisins we can add cranberries to cakes or muffins. We have fresh strawberries and these are high in Vitamin C. Yet there are other berry types! There are many varieties, from blue-staining blueberries (that are blue-purple in colour) to raspberries, cranberries, mulberries and other juicy sweet berries.

Some berries are not that sweet but rather harmful and fatal. To come across wild berries, mushrooms and other unknown varieties it is worth not even trying them for taste. Know before you pick and eat what is poisonous. Although mushrooms may look appealing, they are a fungus and can be dangerous.

Mushrooms are of high moisture content, while shitake mushrooms are known to be very health supporting. Nutritious berries supply various levels of protective antioxidants. To reduce our rate of ageing and help ward away the development of disease we have blueberries. Therapeutically for urinary tract infections we have cranberries. Susceptibility to kidney stones is alleviated by taking cranberry juice. Medications for urinary and bladder problems incorporate cranberries.

Various medical studies display the potency of cranberry juice to protect against some forms of kidney stones. Do not neglect the beneficial blueberries that have also been shown to effectively protect and treat urinary tract infections. These blueberries and cranberries prevent the harmful bacteria from latching onto the urinary walls. Consequently the harmful bacteria are unsupported to create a flourishing family to grow and cause ill health. In certain countries berries tend to grow and are more popular and available. Access to fresh berries at our nearby grocery stores is not general but rather to frozen and canned berries. Being fragile, berries are not suitable for mass transport and storage in fresh form.

Mulberries not only feed us but the leaves of that mulberry tree feed silk worms. For many years we have used berries to make juice, which is an age old practice and we can always find berry flavoured juices or concentrated berry juices.

Often we have cherries on ice-cream or cakes. It may top it off like no other colourful decorative piece. The red cherries are usually preserved and available in packages. Loganberries, blackberries, black currents and raspberries deliver valuable iron levels. Gooseberries may be more common and have a yellow tinge. Blackberries are highly regarded for their Vitamin E levels.

Berries all around and together are generally high in fibre, minerals and vitamins relative to various other fruits. Indeed berries may be minor juicy fragile ball-like fruits; nonetheless they do pack a punch for nutritional health. - 17274
