Blueberries

Blueberries are a fruit that provides carbohydrate, mainly as naturally occurring sugars, along with fibre and some vitamin C. These figures cover UK-grown and imported blueberries sampled in summer and winter; no preparation method is specified. Per 100g, they provide 9.1g of carbohydrate, 1.5g of fibre and 6mg of vitamin C, with an energy content of 169 kJ.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function. Vitamin C is needed for collagen formation, which supports tissues such as skin and cartilage, and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Blueberries contain little fat or salt, but their carbohydrate content remains relevant when monitoring carbohydrate intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
