Wild blueberries outshine regular varieties as potent anti-inflammatory food. Rich in anthocyanins, flavonols, vitamin C, and phenolic acids, they neutralize free radicals that trigger chronic inflammation. Their higher skin-to-pulp ratio packs more fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients per bite. Backed by Mayo Clinic, benefits include improved heart, gut, and brain health, reduced diabetes risk, and weight management. Frozen wild blueberries retain nutrients, making them a year-round superfood.
