Product Information

Both whole blueberries and blueberry extract are an abundant source of vitamins and minerals. Depending on the formulation, blueberry extract supplements may contain a higher dose of nutrients than the whole fruit, but whether that is a good thing once it is consumed is not known. Depending on the number of blueberries you’re rehydrating and the strength of your microwave, adjust the microwave time and reduce the power to 50% or less to reduce the risk of overheating. And since the season’s kind of hot, why not make a refreshing drink out of it? Grind them into a fine powder and make your own blueberry mix drink. Rehydrated dried blueberries can be added to many baking and cooking recipes, including: 1. Blueberry Muffins We’re doing a reverse cream for this cake batter, so all the dry ingredients and the butter get beaten together until the mix is ‘sandy’

Set the timer to 24-36 hours. For this batch that we made, it took a total of 33 hours since we didn’t cut or pierce them. Ma L, Sun Z, Zeng Y, Luo M, Yang J. Molecular mechanism and health role of functional ingredients in blueberry for chronic disease in human beings. Int J Mol Sci. 2018;19(9). doi:10.3390/ijms19092785 Freeze-drying blueberries can be a long process because of the skin. So either you freeze-dry a big batch to make the most out of it. Or do like we did and freeze dry other fruits for an economical freeze drying. Just remember to take out the other fruit trays as they don’t need the same number of hours for freeze drying. Where To Use The Freeze Dried BlueberriesWhyte AR, Cheng N, Fromentin E, Williams CM.

This is easy when you’re doing large fruits like kiwis and bananas. But if you’re going to cut blueberries, especially the large box that we had? It’s already the Second Coming, and you’ll still be nowhere finished. Freeze dried fruit is additive-free (normal dried blueberries contain added sugar or oil to prevent hardening).

There is not enough data to support recommending blueberry extract for people with diabetes. Preliminary studies suggest that blueberries may improve insulin resistance and glucose tolerance. A long time ago I told you about a blueberry ice cream which spurred a fascination with blueberries fully incorporated into baked goods. This cake was born of that latent obsession. Dried blueberries have a long shelf life when stored in an airtight container and can be a great addition to your dried food pantry. There are also several benefits to rehydrating dried blueberries: Why do you need to keep the freezer door closed? Because opening and closing interrupt the freezing cycle, causing undesirable crystals to form in the food. These crystals interfere with the consistency of the food, especially when you’re freeze-drying ones with high water content. White chocolate buttercream is one of my all time favorites and I LOVE frosting, so I don’t say that lightly. It is so creamy, fluffy and fun and the white chocolate flavor really carries through!
