The old saying, “the darker the berries, the sweeter the juice” is in need of a modification. Recent research has shown that darker skinned berries contain higher concentrations of antioxidants than their lighter skinned brethren. Therefore, “the darker the berries, the higher the antioxidants” might be more appropriate.
Berries as a whole are already known to have more antioxidants than other fruits and vegetables. Most people are familiar with the health benefits of blueberries (and cranberries to a certain extent), but the darker berries aren’t getting the press they rightfully deserve.
