High-end blueberries are expensive.

In recent years, blueberries have become popular in the market with "high-end" hats, and titles such as antioxidant and vitamin-rich make it expensive. However, experts point out that although blueberries are good fruits, they do not match their prices.

Yun, a PhD in food engineering at Purdue University in the United States, inadvertently pointed out that only a few years after the rise of blueberries in China, dieticians praised it more and more, and some supermarkets once sold it for more than 200 yuan per kilogram. Although most Chinese people are not familiar with it, it is not purely imported. A wild fruit called "du persimmon" in northeast China is actually a variety of blueberries.

Studies have shown that blueberries are rich in vitamins, dietary fiber, minerals and antioxidants. "Blueberry's' health function'is often associated with antioxidants, and promotions for blueberries tend to claim that they contain more antioxidants than other fruits."

Yun inadvertently pointed out that any food that claims to be "antioxidant" can be sold at a higher price. "the current research is indeed what people want-blueberries may have a variety of" health effects ". However, these studies are very preliminary, and it is still a long way from saying that they do have these functions. Even, some scholars believe that antioxidants such as anthocyanins exist only in vitro and are likely to lose their activity after eating them. "

Yun inadvertently reminds consumers that what determines the beneficial effect of fruits and vegetables is not the content of a fruit, but the total amount of fruit eaten. Unless it is really "there is no shortage of money", there is no need to chase those "high-end fruits" that are "scarce".
