Published in

Question: Do dried blueberries have the same health benefits as fresh blueberries?

Answer: Some research has shown dried blueberries to be as much as four times higher in antioxidants than their fresh counterparts. However, because most drying processes cause significant loss of nutrients and concentrate sugar and calories, fresh fruit is a better bet in terms of nutrition.
