Blueberries look exotic; taste delicious; are packed with nutrients and are a favorite among the old and young alike. But what sets them apart from a host of other fruit varieties in India is the fact that they are counted among superfoods, which is a tag of honor in and of itself.

So, add blueberries to your menu right away.
