Berries are a saving grace. Their main power comes from antioxidants, the miracle fighters of free radicals. Berries broadcast their health value with their deep purples, blues, and blacks, which come from the polyphenols known as anthocyanins (including malvidin) and anthocyanidins. They’re also rich in dimethyl resveratrol and dozens of other phytochemicals, amino acids, and coenzymes. Berries also have hidden compounds that stop excess adrenaline from causing damage to organs. This makes blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, mulberries, blueberries, elderberries, and the like critical for life on earth
