Abstract

Blueberry is a kind of perennial blooming plant that yields berries that are either blue or purple. They belong to the genus Vaccinium, which is found around the world. It is a subfamily of the Vacciniaceae family and a part of the Ericaceae family. Native Americans were the first to use them extensively. Anthocyanin, which is abundant in blueberries, possesses numerous anti-oxidant, anti-tumour, anti-diabetic, antibacterial, cardioprotective, and anti-hypertensive qualities. Because of its remarkable properties, several research has been carried out to evaluate the health advantages of this chemical. A wide range of cosmetic products, such as facemasks and face washes, employ blueberry extract because of its high vitamin C and K content. These are commonly used as food supplements since they are an excellent source of antioxidants and have anti-obesity properties. This article covers a wide range of topics related to blueberries, including their history, cultivation, phytochemical components, health advantages, side effects, natural therapies, market formulation, and some current research.
