Blueberry Herb - Herbal Tea

Blueberry Herb

Blueberry, closely related to the Bilberry is native to North America, though it can be found growing in Australia and South America and shipped through out the world. It has been in the last 10 year that the Blueberry was declared a super food for its many heath promoting qualities.

Blueberries can be distinguished from the Bilberry or Huckleberry by the color of the flesh. A ripe Blueberry’s inside color will be a whitish green while the Bilberry’s color is a deep red or purple. Another difference is in the growth, the Blueberry bush produces fruit that grows in bunches while the Bilberry bush’s fruit grows singularly.

Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants and other nutrients that can help alleviate illness as well as preventing them. Blueberries are made into pies and jellies and other deserts, blueberry juice is drank not only for taste but for the nutritive value.

Blueberry Tea

Dried Blueberries can be added to teas and other beverages to enhance the flavor and add nutritive value to the tea.

Blueberry leaf tea can be prepared by steeping 1 – 2 teaspoons of dried Blueberry leaves in a pint of water for 10 minutes.

Blueberry Uses & Herbal Remedies
