Blueberries are round blueish-purple berries, full of vitamins. Washington State has the largest acreage of blueberries in the United States with an average harvest at just over 96 million pounds. Located in the South-central region of Eastern Washington, FruitSmart is in the heart of this superfood’s growing region. Full of deep-blue pigments, blueberries are rich in vitamins, minerals, and supports overall health and wellness. With one of the highest antioxidant levels of all common fruits and vegetables, blueberries may promote lower blood pressure, help prevent heart disease, urinary tract infections, and reduce muscle damage after strenuous exercise. Packed with healthy compounds, FruitSmart can offer this little blue fruit in a wide variety of forms, including juice and dry ingredients.
Juice concentrates are at the core of what we do. The fruit is processed into juice, which can be filtered, or left cloudy, and concentrated through evaporation. This gives a stable product, easy to store and to transport. Juice concentrates work extremely well in beverages, hard seltzers, cocktail mixes, kombuchas, and any nutraceutical application. Our essences are collected during the evaporation process. The clear, liquid product is sold in pails or drums. Easy to store, essences intensify flavor and offer a clean label solution to formulators.
