藍莓 超級生果

其中一個我喜歡美國多於香港的原因是因為美國有多很多的藍莓，又大又甜又新鮮。根據經驗，最好的藍莓來自加拿大。夏天當造。

當開始有得賣的時候，我每早都會吃上一碗。但當冬春之際只會吃三分一碗，因為太細而且很酸，但依然堅持食，像昨晚我又去Costco買了一盒。 現在我正在邊吃藍莓邊喝白毫銀針，這就是我的護膚計劃之始。 因為上班每天都食，其中一個白人同事笑說:「Hey~ I heard they give you X-ray vision!」

藍莓的Anthocyanins

Anthocyanins「花青素」是一種天然物質，存在於蘋果，莓和葡萄裏，由糖和芳香劑組成，是生果皮的色素組成的元素。有報告指出這是一種抗氧化劑，而且有消炎和抗癌作用。雖然不同生果中含的Anthocyanins的化學結構相似，但對生物的作用卻可以有天淵之別，例如葡萄中的Anthocyanins被認為可以防止心臟病，而藍莓中的Anthocyanins可以消炎和減慢衰老，但實際藍莓中的Anthocyanins到底如何可以達致以上效果，科學家仍然研究中。
