7)How Many Blueberries
are in Blueberry Solid? |
e Believe it or not there are many
different kinds of blueberries and harvest time affects their
phytochemistry. We have every batch of our Blueberry Solid tested at
Rutgers
University
and the levels fluctuate, but 2 tablespoons of Blueberry solid are
roughly equal to ½ cup of Blueberries. |
|
8)What is the carbohydrate
content? |
e There is no added sugar other that
what naturally occurs in our blueberries and small amount of apple juice
that is added to reduce tartness. The carbohydrate content from the fruit
is approximately 3 grams per ¼ teaspoon serving. |
|
9)Are the berries organic? |
e Not at this time. Organic berries
are more fragile and deteriorate more rapidly. Our NJ Growers have been
reviewing organic cultivation methods and how to change-over some of their
operations. |
|
10)Are pesticides
are used? |
e Our NJ
Blueberry Growers work with
Rutgers
University
using an integrated pest
management system. All berries are run through a sophisticated washing system and are flash frozen at their peak of freshness to
await processing. Wanting to insure the highest quality product for their
customers, our farmers implemented a
screening and testing program 5 years ago – for each and every test
done - results have been negative for residual pesticides. We strongly
believe this demonstrates responsible
farming practices by knowledgeable growers. |
