Happy Berry Season from Bee Inspired!

Summer is in full swing, and so are our favorite berries! This month, we're celebrating the sweet flavors of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries - nature's little powerhouses of flavor and nutrition.

Berry Nutritional Spotlight

Did you know these colorful berries are as healthy as they are delicious? Here's why you should add more of these summer treats to your diet:

🫐 Blueberries

Blueberries are packed with antioxidants and have been identified as one of the highest antioxidant-containing fruits! They're low in calories but rich in fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K. Research suggests blueberries may support brain health during aging and benefit heart health.

🍓 Blackberries

Blackberries are nutrition superstars with impressive fiber content! One cup provides about 8g of fiber - nearly a third of your daily needs. They're virtually fat-free, packed with vitamin C (half your daily value in one cup), and rich in vitamins A, E, and K. Their deep color comes from anthocyanins that may help protect against oxidative stress, making them excellent for skin also.

🍇 Raspberries

Raspberries are fiber champions with about 8g per cup and only 64 calories. They're excellent sources of vitamin C, manganese, and antioxidant polyphenols called ellagitannins. Research suggests raspberries may support immune health and positively impact gut microbiome function. Raspberry Honey is also so tasty.
