Blueberries have a low calorie count as they contain few carbohydrates, and they are packed with vitamin C, which is an important nutrient for the immune system and skin health.
The punchy-tasting berries are also rich in dietary fibre, making them an essential treat for the digestive system. The Spanish Nutrition Foundation states blueberries contain approximately 4.9 grams of fibre per 100 grams of fruit.
