美国俄勒冈和华盛顿蓝莓 | Oregon & Washington Blueberries

深蓝色的蓝莓(Blueberry虽小巧果实,但味道清甜、天然且富含营养,是一款超级食品(Superfood),而美国俄勒冈州和华盛顿州更是美国最大的两个蓝莓生产地。

由于美国俄勒冈和华盛顿具有理想的生长条件,因此所生产的蓝莓广受喜爱。

根据研究显示,蓝莓属于强力抗氧化水果,有助于减缓老化、活化脑力,和增强记忆力等功效,亦有助于预防与年龄有关的疾病。

这种有益身心健康的超级食品,除了可在正餐之间直接食用,也可融入各种食谱,广泛用于沙拉、烘焙食品、甜点和冰沙等,适合一家大小共享的超级食品。

 

与此同时,城中专业饮食治疗师Georgen Thye 郑仲杰分享了各种蓝莓的营养成分和健康益处:

1.  1 杯(148克)的蓝莓课提供每日维生素 C 价值的 25%,即 14.4 毫克维生素 C

维生素 C 是一种水溶性维生素,可作为抗氧化剂稳定自由基,从而有助于防止细胞损伤。维生素 C 有助于胶原蛋白的生成;帮助铁吸收;并有助于愈合伤口并保持牙龈健康。

维生素 C 亦有助于增强身体的免疫系统。


 

2. 一杯(148克)蓝莓含有3.6克的纤维,即相当于每日所需纤维量的14%

膳食纤维已被证明可提供许多健康益处,包括改善血脂水平、调节血糖和增加饱腹感,这将有助于减肥和修身。

 

3.蓝莓富含抗氧化剂

蓝莓是抗氧化水平最高的常见蔬果之一。抗氧化剂可保护身体免受自由基的侵害,而自由基就是一种不稳定的分子,会损害身体细胞并导致衰老和疾病。

 

4. 一杯(148 克)蓝莓提供每日维生素 K 价值的 36%,即 28 微克维生素 K

维生素 K 摄入量低与较高的骨折风险有关。然而,足够的维生素 K 摄入量可提高钙的吸收,并有助于减少钙质的流失。


蓝莓被美国心脏协会(American Heart Association认证为有益心脏健康的食物,并富含有助于保持大脑强壮的天然化合物。

 

为了让大家居家抗疫之际也能和家人共享健康又美味的蓝莓甜品,热爱烹饪的专业饮食治疗师Georgen Thye 郑仲杰,不忘分享3道采用美国俄勒冈和华盛顿蓝莓为主要食材的甜品食谱。
