The benefit of 莓果(Berry)

莓果(Berry)一般包括藍莓(blueberries)、草莓(strawberries)、紅莓(raspberries) 和黑莓(blackberries)。
莓果含豐富維生素C、礦物質鉀、葉酸和纖維。一杯草莓含有超過100亳克維生素C，份量幾乎與一杯橙汁一樣，足夠提供一天所需的維生素C；一杯藍莓含有每日所需的錳質(Manganese)份量，而相同數量的紅莓供應我們每日所需的煙酸 (Niacin, 維生素B3)三分之一，有助體內碳水化合物、脂肪及酒精的代謝，從而製造能量擔當重要角色，保持皮膚、神經及消化系統的健康。藍莓和草莓更是維生素E的好來源。Blackberries and raspberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, calcium, fiber, iron, and folic acid. The increased interest in nutraceutical products focuses special interest on these crops. While blueberries and cranberries have been touted for their proven health benefits, the anthocyanins (pigments that give the fruits their red and purple colors), which are powerful antioxidants, are even more concentrated in blackberries and raspberries, especially in black raspberries.
