Did you know blueberries are low in fat, and one full cup is only 80 calories? Thanks to the US Highbush Blueberry Council we found more about how blueberries are good for us. Blueberries also are rich in dietary fiber. Fiber does a lot of good for our bodies. Fiber doesn’t just keeping our body’s regular but our hearts healthy and cholesterol in good shape.

They also help convert the proteins, carbohydrates and fats we consume into energy. This is due to the amount of manganese they contain.
