The Blueberry from the Modena Apennines is considered one of the most important "functional foods" available, a product that, when consumed regularly, can contribute significantly to maintaining good health and preventing various diseases. Thanks to its numerous properties, the blueberry is used not only in cooking but also in various fields such as phytocosmetics due to the presence of organic acids, tannins, and pectins in its berries, and in ophthalmology for its richness in anthocyanins.
Besides being enjoyed fresh, the Blueberry from the Modena Apennines is used to make delicious jams, syrups, juices, and liqueurs. Some blueberry-based preparations are used, especially in confectionery, as sweeteners, flavorings, and colorants: this latter use is gaining more popularity (even in the cosmetic and liqueur sectors) as the blueberry constituents responsible for the coloring action, practically free of toxicity, can advantageously replace certain synthetic colorants despite their limited stability
