Chilean blueberries are the star of this delicious and flavoursome couscous bowl. They are one of the most nutrient dense berries and contain fibre, manganese, Vitamin K and have very high levels of antioxidants making them a real superfood! Blueberries could also help to preserve heart health and can improve mood and cognition.

Chilean blueberries have an outstanding flavour, size and texture. They are perfectly sweet as Chile’s climate provides optimum temperature for perfect blueberries!
