| Publisher Description: Berries are considered as the most nutritious plant-based foods as all types of edible berry fruits are excellent source of easily digestible dietary fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. In fact, several scientific studies have confirmed the fact that berries such as strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries and blueberries are the most nutritious antioxidant rich foods available today. Since these berries are antioxidant rich, they have anti-cancer properties as well. Antioxidants are capable of scavenging the free radicals present within our body and thus capable of reducing free radical damage of our body cells. That is how regular berry consumption prevents lifestyle diseases such as cancer, obesity, diabetes, etc. This book is about "Nutrient-Rich Berries". A detailed account of growing practices, nutritional information, health benefits and food uses of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, bilberries, cranberries, lingonberries, and huckleberries is available in this book. This book also gives a brief account about other berries such as dew berries, cloud berries, salmon berries, nagoon berries and hybrid berries such as logan berries, tay berries and boysen berries. A list of some lesser known berries is given in the last chapter. |
