Where are blueberries produced? An introduction to the distribution of major blueberry-producing regions in China

Blueberries are mainly produced in North America. In China, wild blueberries are mainly produced in the Changbai Mountains, the Greater Khingan Range and the Lesser Khingan Range forest regions, and most of them are in the Greater Khingan Range area. It is one of the five major healthy fruits recommended by the World Food and Agriculture Organization. Because it is rich in anthocyanins, it can promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells, prevent myopia and improve eyesight.

The blueberry is a perennial small-berry fruit tree of the genus Vaccinium in the family Ericaceae. The fruit is blue, and the blue is covered by a layer of white bloom. It can be eaten fresh; the flesh is delicate, sweet and sour to the taste, and it has a pleasant, refreshing aroma.

The anthocyanin pigment content in blueberries is as high as 163mg/100g, and the VE content is 9.3L|g/100g, which is several times or even dozens of times that of other fruits such as apples and grapes; the total amino acid content is 0.254%, higher even than hawthorn, which is rich in amino acids. In addition to being rich in conventional nutrients, it also contains extremely rich flavonoids and polysaccharide compounds, so it is also called the “queen of fruits” and the “king of berries”. Not only that, it contains substances such as yunbin tannin alcohol and sodium benzoate, so it has been identified by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization as one of the five major healthy foods for humans.
