How Our Wild Blueberry Powder Is Made
From Field To Package
Wild Grown In Atlantic, Canada
Our journey begins in the fields in Atlantic Canada, where the low bush blueberries are wildly grown, letting the berries do the hard work. The farmers help out where they can, in the field inspecting dormant shoots, looking for emerging fruit or vegetative buds and keeping an eye on the soil. Each year when the wild blooms begin to emerge, the farmers enlist the help of thousands of honeybees to join the local insects to pollinate every blossom in the wild blueberry patches to naturally yield the juiciest and most flavorful berries.
Harvesting Grade A Wild Blueberries
Through late July to September, the farmers harvest the wild blueberries using large rakes to scoop blueberries off of the low bushes. These wildblueberries are considered Grade A blueberries. Meaning they are the most tender, succulent, and flavorful fruits produced according to USDA standards. (Canada has one grade only)
Rev Technology Air Drying
The fresh wild blueberries undergo an innovative drying technology that is delicately applied to the fresh produce, utilizing minimal heat to preserve essential nutrients, including vitamins, antioxidants, anthocyanins, and other valuable polyphenol compounds. The outcome is a low-temperature dehydration process that remarkably preserves the majority of nutrients inherent in the initial fresh produce. This process has a similar result to freeze-drying, but has been shown to retain it's orginal flavour better.
Blending Into Powder
The dried wild blueberries are then carefully blended into a fine, velvety powder. This meticulous blending process ensures that every particle carries the full essence of the original fruit, resulting in a powder bursting with the same aroma, flavor, and nutrients as fresh wild blueberries.
