Blueberry
Blueberries, cultivated in regions such as Ancash, Arequipa, Ica, La Libertad, Lambayeque, Lima, Moquegua, and Piura, are packed with antioxidants, Vitamin C, and fiber. Rich in flavonoids, these tiny fruits help protect cells from oxidative damage, making them particularly beneficial for brain and heart health. Blueberries’ high antioxidant content may improve brain function, which is often compromised by oxidative stress.
