What journeys and how many thousands of kilometres do superfood seekers travel to find the secret of longevity and health? It turns out, however, that it is not hidden far, away but very close, even in urban conditions. And Bulgaria is blessed with the happiness of growing on its territory one of the most useful foods for the human body: the blueberry!
According to numerous studies, there is no cancer that wild blueberries cannot prevent, and no disease known to mankind that wild blueberries cannot protect against. This miraculous fruit grows not only on the Vitosha mountain but also in almost all Bulgarian mountains.
Dazzled by its beneficial properties, people are increasingly looking for blueberries in stores, which in turn forced growers to cultivate this otherwise wild bush and begin the mass production of blueberries.
Don't confuse wild blueberries with their larger cultivated cousins, which, while good for your health, don't offer even a fraction of the power of wild blueberries!
The nature of the blueberry is to grow in more acidic soil, which can be found mostly in the mountains and pine forests. In their efforts to cultivate it, producers add artificial acidifiers to the soil, thereby introducing fertilizers and preparations that are unnecessary for the plant.
The difference between cultivated and wild blueberries can be likened to the difference between meat from free-range domesticated animals and that from formula-fed industrially-raised animals.
Wild blueberries contain the genes of an extremely powerful antioxidant fruit that has adapted to all climate fluctuations. Because of their rapid adaptability to the environment, today there are more than 100 varieties that, although they look the same, have different genetic makeup, but just as useful qualities - they are armed with dozens of varieties of antioxidants that science does not yet know, together with polyphenols, anthocyanins, anthocyanidins, dimethyl resveratrol and as yet unknown cofactor adaptogenic amino acids.
The consumption of wild blueberries is excellent for heavy metal detoxification, they are also the most powerful prebiotic in liver recovery. | BGNES
