What is organic blueberry powder?
Organic Blueberry Powder is made from freeze-dried whole organic blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum), retaining skins, seeds, and pulp for maximum nutrient retention. We also supply Organic Blueberry Juice Powder, a concentrated powder derived from cold-pressed organic blueberry juice, optimized for intense flavor, vibrant color, and instant solubility.
